From 1240d1373cd7f874dd0f3057c3e9643e71ef75c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2009 10:18:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: udp: Optimise multicast reception UDP multicast rx path is a bit complex and can hold a spinlock for a long time. Using a small (32 or 64 entries) stack of socket pointers can help to perform expensive operations (skb_clone(), udp_queue_rcv_skb()) outside of the lock, in most cases. It's also a base for a future RCU conversion of multicast recption. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Lucian Adrian Grijincu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
