Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 0/2] tcp/mptcp: Don't call tcp_update_recv_tstamps() if not needed.
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 16:49:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104165025.1026357-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
When RX HWtstamp is enabled on NIC, skb_hwtstamps(skb)->hwtstamp
is set.
Then, recvmsg() always calls tcp_recv_timestamp() even when the
socket does not need timestamp.
Since it is called after release_sock() and touches sk->sk_tsflags,
which shares the same cacheline with sk->sk_forward_alloc, it stalls:
0.31 │ 403: test %al,%al
0.02 │ ↓ je 4a0
12.40 │ test $0x2,%bpl ; if (cmsg_flags & TCP_CMSG_TS)
│ ↓ je 48f
11.59 │ mov 0x60(%r14),%r15 ; sock_flag(sk, SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW)
12.25 │ mov 0x170(%r14),%ebx ; READ_ONCE(sk->sk_tsflags)
20.70 │ mov 0xd0(%rsp),%rdi ; if (tss->ts[0]) {
0.39 │ test %rdi,%rdi
│ ↓ je 44c
Commit f0e70409b7eb ("net: avoid unconditionally touching
sk_tsflags on RX") introduced SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_ANY to avoid the
issue for UDP.
This series checks it to avoid touching sk->sk_tsflags unnecessarily.
With the change, tcp_rr -T 128 -F 10000 gains ~3% more throughput
on AMD EPYC 7B12 Zen 2 Rome (2 sockets, 256 vCPUs).
