From 2e77d89b2fa8e3f8325b8ce7893ec3645f41aff5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:52:46 -0800 Subject: net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data() We can reduce pressure on dst entry refcount that slowdown UDP transmit path on SMP machines. This pressure is visible on RTP servers when delivering content to mediagateways, especially big ones, handling thousand of streams. Several cpus send UDP frames to the same destination, hence use the same dst entry. This patch makes ip_append_data() eventually steal the refcount its callers had to take on the dst entry. This doesnt avoid all refcounting, but still gives speedups on SMP, on UDP/RAW transmit path Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

For that make net_core_path[] global, register it to prevent two /proc/net/core antries and change initcall position -- xfrm_init() is called from fs_initcall, so this one should be fs_initcall at least.
