From 425f09ab7d1c9da6ca4137dd639cb6fe3f8a88f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 02:19:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: output path optimizations 1) Avoid dirtying neighbour's confirmed field. TCP workloads hits this cache line for each incoming ACK. Lets write n->confirmed only if there is a jiffie change. 2) Optimize neigh_hh_output() for the common Ethernet case, were hh_len is less than 16 bytes. Replace the memcpy() call by two inlined 64bit load/stores on x86_64. Bench results using udpflood test, with -C option (MSG_CONFIRM flag added to sendto(), to reproduce the n->confirmed dirtying on UDP) 24 threads doing 1.000.000 UDP sendto() on dummy device, 4 runs. before : 2.247s, 2.235s, 2.247s, 2.318s after : 1.884s, 1.905s, 1.891s, 1.895s Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
