From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2016 15:52:21 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ipv4: tcp: set SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE for ip_send_unicast_reply() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9d6532b567489196dac4ce60c62343e43228759;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git ipv4: tcp: set SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE for ip_send_unicast_reply() TCP uses per cpu 'sockets' to send some packets : - RST packets ( tcp_v4_send_reset()) ) - ACK packets for SYN_RECV and TIMEWAIT sockets By setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE flag, we tell sock_wfree() to not call sk_write_space() since these internal sockets do not care. This gives a small performance improvement, merely by allowing cpu to properly predict the sock_wfree() conditional branch, and avoiding one atomic operation.
