Challenges with running CPU pinned processes within Docker

Programs that want to bind themselves to free cores present some challenges
when run within Docker.

CPU pinning allows a program to request it be assigned exclusively to a core or set of cores This improves cache locality and other factors that become relevant for extremely CPU bound processes, especially in combination with other configurations that prevent the scheduler from assigning other processes

• Wherever possible, disable loading the CLI tree for massive performance gains (> 3x)
• If running in parallel, disable pidfile checks
• Skip option parsing
• Disable checksums where applicable

A list of some interesting edge cases in YANG and the FRR Northbound API.

leafrefs as list keys

A leafref is a reference to a leaf in another part of the data tree. Being leaves themselves, they can be used as the key for a list:

• consolidate sockopts into :file:`setsockopt.c`
• add support for ipv[4|6] pseudoheader checksum to :file:`checksum.c`

• Linux will send IPv4 (and probably IPv6) datagrams with no payload - just a header.
• It is possible to bind() a socket to an address X on interface A, set the outgoing multicast interface to interface B with IP[V6]_MULTICAST_IF and then send datagrams IP sourced from X but transmitted on B (i.e. using B's MAC address).
• The above does not work when the source address is an IPv6 link local.
