From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net-next V2] tuntap: calculate rps hash only when needed Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 23:13:42 -0400 Message-ID: <1461640422-20779-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Wang , "Michael S. Tsirkin" To: davem@davemloft.ne, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org There's no need to calculate rps hash if it was not enabled. So this patch export rps_needed and check it before trying to get rps hash. Tests (using pktgen to inject packets to guest) shows this can improve pps about 13% (when rps is disabled). Before: ~1150000 pps After: ~1300000 pps Cc: Michael S.
