2010-10-16fib: avoid false sharing on fib_table_hashEric Dumazet
While doing profile analysis, I found fib_hash_table was sometime in a cache line shared by a possibly often written kernel structure. (CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH || !CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES) It's hard to detect because not easily reproductible. Make sure we allocate a full cache line to keep this shared in all cpus caches.

2010-10-16net: allocate skbs on local nodeEric Dumazet
commit b30973f877 (node-aware skb allocation) spread a wrong habit of allocating net drivers skbs on a given memory node : The one closest to the NIC hardware. This is wrong because as soon as we try to scale network stack, we need to use many cpus to handle traffic and hit slub/slab management on cross-node allocations/frees when these cpus have to alloc/free skbs bound to a central node. skb allocated in RX path are ephemeral, they have a very short lifetime : Extra cost to maintain NUMA affinity is too expensive. What appeared as a nice idea four years ago is in fact a bad one. In 2010, NIC hardwares are multiqueue, or we use RPS to spread the load, and two 10Gb NIC might deliver more than 28 million packets per second, needing all the available cpus. Cost of cross-node handling in network and vm stacks outperforms the small benefit hardware had when doing its DMA transfert in its 'local' memory node at RX time. Even trying to differentiate the two allocations done for one skb (the sk_buff on local node, the data part on NIC hardware node) is not enough to bring good performance.

2010-10-16r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ringEric Dumazet
Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb" Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing this copy.

2010-10-15v4l1: fix 32-bit compat microcode loading translationLinus Torvalds
The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered. It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it (at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic ioctl). So we'll get rid of it eventually. But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think the compatibility translation code has ever worked unless you were very lucky).

2010-10-15De-pessimize rds_page_copy_userLinus Torvalds
Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU. Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap() (unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides). But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there (and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there - you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case. People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't verify the user addresses properly.
