From fa438ccfdfd3f6db02c13b61b21454eb81cd6a13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 16:05:44 -0800 Subject: [NET]: Keep sk_backlog near sk_lock sk_backlog is a critical field of struct sock. (known famous words) It is (ab)used in hot paths, in particular in release_sock(), tcp_recvmsg(), tcp_v4_rcv(), sk_receive_skb(). It really makes sense to place it next to sk_lock, because sk_backlog is only used after sk_lock locked (and thus memory cache line in L1 cache). This should reduce cache misses and sk_lock acquisition time. (In theory, we could only move the head pointer near sk_lock, and leaving tail far away, because 'tail' is normally not so hot, but keep it simple :) ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
