Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: keep name_hlist close to name
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:36:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339432573.6001.2429.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

__dev_get_by_name() is slow because pm_qos_req has been inserted between
name[] and name_hlist, adding cache misses.

pm_qos_req has nothing to do at the beginning of struct net_device
