Subject: [PATCH] myri10ge: small rx_done refactoring
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:21:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110325112123.GA6218@redhat.com> (raw)
Avoid theoretical race condition regarding accessing dev->features
NETIF_F_LRO flag, which is illustrated below.
CPU1 CPU2
myri10ge_clean_rx_done(): myri10ge_set_flags():
or
myri10ge_set_rx_csum():
if (dev->features & NETIF_F_LRO)
setup lro
dev->features |= NETIF_F_LRO
or
dev->features &= ~NETIF_F_LRO;
if (dev->features & NETIF_F_LRO)
flush lro
On the way reduce myri10ge_rx_done() number of arguments and calls by
moving mgp->small_bytes check into that function. That reduce code size
from:
text data bss dec hex filename
36644 248 100 36992 9080 drivers/net/myri10ge/myri10ge.o
to:
text data bss dec hex filename
36037 247 100 36384 8e20 drivers/net/myri10ge/myri10ge.o
on my i686 system, what should also make myri10ge_clean_rx_done()
being faster.

Thanks to Stephen, David and Ben for pointing missing ACCESS_ONCE() issue
and teach me multi-thread programming.
