Subject: [PATCH 0/4]: Revamp TX hashing.
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:40:24 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090127.164024.141230513.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)
The simple_tx_hash() function we currently have in
net/core/dev.c is very rudimental and doesn't handle
routing and firewall scenerios very well.
The next 4 patches attempt to cure that. The end result
is:
1) The RX queue selection of the input device seeds the
TX queue selection for that SKB.
2) Locally generated packets seed the TX queue using
skb->sk->sk_hash
Then we kill off the by-hand hashing code since in all cases
that matter it is no longer necessary.
Protocols that fail to store a proper sk->sk_hash value will
need to be fixed up to do so. I encourage anyone so motivated
to do that audit :-)
