Subject: [PATCH] tunnels: Optimize tx path
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:43:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ABB233E.5050503@gmail.com> (raw)
We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock
This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.
Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats
