Merge branch 'net-group-together-hot-data'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: group together hot data While our recent structure reorganizations were focused on increasing max throughput, there is still an area where improvements are much needed. In many cases, a cpu handles one packet at a time, instead of a nice batch. Hardware interrupt. -> Software interrupt. -> Network/Protocol stacks. If the cpu was idle or busy in other layers, it has to pull many cache lines. This series adds a new net_hotdata structure, where some critical (and read-mostly) data used in rx and tx path is packed in a small number of cache lines. Synthetic benchmarks will not see much difference, but latency of single packet should improve. net_hodata current size on 64bit is 416 bytes, but might grow in the future. Also move RPS definitions to a new include file. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240306160031.874438-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
