From 87fd308cfc6b2e880bf717a740bd5c58d2aed10c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 05:24:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try() commit fc6055a5ba31e2 (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early orphaning of skbs. This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...) Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices. skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all flows. skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash() can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.
