It is a specific implementation of migration that minimizes reordering by selecting the same victim socket when possible (and by selecting subsequent victims in a round robin fashion, from which its name derives). Changes: v2 -> v3: - statistics: replace unsigned long with __aligned_u64 v1 -> v2: - huge flow detection: run lockless - huge flow detection: replace stored index with random - contention avoidance: test in packet_poll while lock held - contention avoidance: clear pressure sooner packet_poll and packet_recvmsg would clear only if the sock is empty to avoid taking the necessary lock. But, * packet_poll already holds this lock, so a lockless variant __packet_rcv_has_room is cheap. * packet_recvmsg is usually called only for non-ring sockets, which also runs lockless. - preparation: drop "single return" patch packet_rcv_has_room is now a locked wrapper around __packet_rcv_has_room, achieving the same (single footer). The benchmark mentioned in the patches is at https://github.com/wdebruij/kerneltools/blob/master/tests/bench_rollover.c ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
