Subject: [PATCH] net: skb_tx_hash() fix relative to skb_orphan_try()
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:24:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279034660.2634.439.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

commit fc6055a5ba31e2 (net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()) added early
orphaning of skbs.

This unfortunately added a performance regression in skb_tx_hash() in
case of stacked devices (bonding, vlans, ...)

Since skb->sk is now NULL, we cannot access sk->sk_hash anymore to
spread tx packets to multiple NIC queues on multiqueue devices.

skb_tx_hash() in this case only uses skb->protocol, same value for all
flows.

skb_orphan_try() can copy sk->sk_hash into skb->rxhash and skb_tx_hash()
can use this saved sk_hash value to compute its internal hash value.
