From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [RFC V7 PATCH 3/7] virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats Date: Mon, 25 May 2015 01:24:00 -0400 Message-ID: <1432531444-50193-4-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> References: <1432531444-50193-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Cc: rusty@rustcorp.com.au, Jason Wang To: mst@redhat.com, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1432531444-50193-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes. Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end(). Take care not to bother with stats update when called speculatively. Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Michael S.
