From 1338d466d9c3f8a65cc6d83c629cd906f2a989f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 16:38:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [SOCK]: Introduce a percpu inuse counters array (v2). And redirect sock_prot_inuse_add and _get to use one. As far as the dereferences are concerned. Before the patch we made 1 dereference to proto->inuse.add call, the call itself and then called the __get_cpu_var() on a static variable. After the patch we make a direct call, then one dereference to proto->inuse_idx and then the same __get_cpu_var() on a still static variable. So this patch doesn't seem to produce performance penalty on SMP. This is not per-net yet, but I will deliberately make NET_NS=y case separated from NET_NS=n one, since it'll cost us one-or-two more dereferences to get the struct net and the inuse counter.
