From 5b8e2f61b9df529ca4af057daf7bfb1de348bdf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 19:32:50 -0800 Subject: net: sock_rps_record_flow() is for connected sockets Paolo noticed a cache line miss in UDP recvmsg() to access sk_rxhash, sharing a cache line with sk_drops. sk_drops might be heavily incremented by cpus handling a flood targeting this socket. We might place sk_drops on a separate cache line, but lets try to avoid wasting 64 bytes per socket just for this, since we have other bottlenecks to take care of. sock_rps_record_flow() should only access sk_rxhash for connected flows. Testing sk_state for TCP_ESTABLISHED covers most of the cases for connected sockets, for a zero cost, since system calls using sock_rps_record_flow() also access sk->sk_prot which is on the same cache line. A follow up patch will provide a static_key (Jump Label) since most hosts do not even use RFS. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reported-by: Paolo Abeni Acked-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.
