From 87a2fd286adf35a87cf6cb30fa80a0726eb74f76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:25:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] packet: don't unconditionally schedule() in case of MSG_DONTWAIT In tpacket_snd(), when we've discovered a first frame that is not in status TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST, and return a NULL buffer, we exit the send routine in case of MSG_DONTWAIT, since we've finished traversing the mmaped send ring buffer and don't care about pending frames. While doing so, we still unconditionally call an expensive schedule() in the packet_current_frame() "error" path, which is unnecessary in this case since it's enough to just quit the function. Also, in case MSG_DONTWAIT is not set, we should rather test for need_resched() first and do schedule() only if necessary since meanwhile pending frames could already have finished processing and called skb destructor.
