From 0da4af00b2ed3dbe46788623a696c4169447eadc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Wang Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 15:08:07 -0700 Subject: ipv6: only update __use and lastusetime once per jiffy at most In order to not dirty the cacheline too often, we try to only update dst->__use and dst->lastusetime at most once per jiffy. As dst->lastusetime is only used by ipv6 garbage collector, it should be good enough time resolution. And __use is only used in ipv6_route_seq_show() to show how many times a dst has been used. And as __use is not atomic_t right now, it does not show the precise number of usage times anyway. So we think it should be OK to only update it at most once per jiffy. According to my latest syn flood test on a machine with intel Xeon 6th gen processor and 2 10G mlx nics bonded together, each with 8 rx queues on 2 NUMA nodes: With this patch, the packet process rate increases from ~3.49Mpps to ~3.75Mpps with a 7% increase rate. Note: dst_use() is being renamed to dst_hold_and_use() to better specify the purpose of the function. Signed-off-by: Wei Wang Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
