Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: add a prefetch in socket backlog processing
Date: Tue, 01 May 2012 04:07:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335838029.11396.12.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

TCP or UDP stacks have big enough latencies that prefetching next
pointer is worth it.
