As mentioned here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg505054.html
icmp6_send() can be expensive when there are a lot of devices and
anycast addresses. One solution I've prototyped is adding a global
hash table to store and allow more efficient searches for anycast
addresses. This works and prevents the long delays I've seen when
many neighbors are invalidated in large numbers.
A colleague mentioned that another alternative may be to do something
like an rt6_lookup on the address and check for the RTF_ANYCAST flag.
This is much simpler, and I'm in the process of testing it now.
Is there any preference or recommendation as to which way to proceed
before I submit a patch?
Thanks,
Jeff
