From 9fe516ba3fb29b6f6a752ffd93342fdee500ec01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 08:36:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] inet: move ipv6only in sock_common When an UDP application switches from AF_INET to AF_INET6 sockets, we have a small performance degradation for IPv4 communications because of extra cache line misses to access ipv6only information. This can also be noticed for TCP listeners, as ipv6_only_sock() is also used from __inet_lookup_listener()->compute_score() This is magnified when SO_REUSEPORT is used. Move ipv6only into struct sock_common so that it is available at no extra cost in lookups. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
