IPv6 does not scale very well with the number of IPv6 addresses. It uses a global (shared by all netns) hash table with 256 buckets. Some functions like addrconf_verify_rtnl() and addrconf_ifdown() have to iterate all addresses in the hash table. I have seen addrconf_verify_rtnl() holding the cpu for 10ms or more. Switch to the per netns hashtable (and spinlock) added in prior patches. This considerably speeds up netns dismantle times on hosts with thousands of netns. This also has an impact on regular (fast path) IPv6 processing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
