Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/2] bonding: convert unbalanced_load to per-cpu state
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:47:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-bond_overflow-v3-1-e05d4dbc2fd8@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-bond_overflow-v3-0-e05d4dbc2fd8@kylinos.cn>
From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@kylinos.cn>
A later patch widens the bonding TLB tx counters from u32 to u64. The
unbalanced_load counter sits in the transmit hot path, and cross-CPU
synchronization of a u64 would introduce measurable overhead. Convert
unbalanced_load to a per-cpu counter first so that the subsequent
widening only touches per-cpu data local to each CPU.
Introduce struct unbalanced_load_stats to hold the per-cpu counter,
and move the aggregation into a helper, reset_unbalanced_load(), which
sums and clears all per-cpu instances.
