Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next] bonding: Optimise is_netpoll_tx_blocked().
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 23:07:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223230749.2376145-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)

bond_start_xmit() spends some cycles in is_netpoll_tx_blocked():

  if (unlikely(is_netpoll_tx_blocked(dev)))
      return NETDEV_TX_BUSY;

because of the "pushf;pop reg" sequence (aka irqs_disabled()).

Let's swap the conditions in is_netpoll_tx_blocked() and
convert netpoll_block_tx to a static key.

Before:

   1.23 │       mov    %gs:0x28,%rax
   1.24 │       mov    %rax,0x18(%rsp)
  29.45 │       pushfq
   0.50 │       pop    %rax
   0.47 │       test   $0x200,%eax
        │     ↓ je     1b4
   0.49 │ 32:   lea    0x980(%rsi),%rbx

After:

   0.72 │       mov    %gs:0x28,%rax
   0.81 │       mov    %rax,0x18(%rsp)
   0.82 │       nop
   2.77 │ 2a:   lea    0x980(%rsi),%rbx
