Subject: [PATCH] inet_peer: Optimize inet_getid()
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:04:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ABBC2D8.2040901@gmail.com> (raw)

While investigating for network latencies, I found inet_getid() was a contention point
for some workloads.

Fix is straightforward, using cmpxchg() instead of
a spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() pair on a central lock.

Another possibility was to use an atomic_t and atomic_add_return() but
the size of struct inet_peer object would had doubled on x86_64 because of
SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN constraint.
