Subject: [PATCH 1/3] skb: Drop bad code from pskb_expand_head
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 17:26:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120505002645.21292.38368.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120505001059.21292.31647.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com>
The fast-path for pskb_expand_head contains a check where the size plus the
unaligned size of skb_shared_info is compared against the size of the data
buffer. This code path has two issues. First is the fact that after the
recent changes by Eric Dumazet to __alloc_skb and build_skb the shared info
is always placed in the optimal spot for a buffer size making this check
unnecessary. The second issue is the fact that the check doesn't take into
account the aligned size of shared info. As a result the code burns cycles
doing a memcpy with nothing actually being shifted.
