Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 0/5] net: Implement fast TX queue selection
From: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@...ibm.com>
Multiqueue cards on routers/firewalls set skb->queue_mapping on
input which helps in faster xmit. Implement fast queue selection
for locally generated packets also, by saving the txq# for
connected sockets (in dev_pick_tx) and use it in subsequent
iterations. Locally generated packets for a connection will xmit
on the same txq, but routing & firewall loads should not be
affected by this patch. Tests shows the distribution across txq's
for 1-4 netperf sessions is similar to existing code.
Testing & results:
------------------
1. Cycles/Iter (C/I) used by dev_pick_tx:
(B -> Billion, M -> Million)

| TCP_RR, | | | | | | |
| UDP_RR] | | | | | | |
|--------------|--------|---------|-----|--------|---------|-----|
2. Stress test (over 48 hours) : 1000 netperfs running combination
of TCP_STREAM/RR, UDP_STREAM/RR (v4/6, NODELAY/~NODELAY for all
tests), with some ssh sessions, reboots, modprobe -r driver, etc.
3. Performance test (10 hours): Single 10 hour netperf run of
TCP_STREAM/RR, TCP_STREAM + NO_DELAY and UDP_RR. Results show an
improvement in both performance and cpu utilization.
Tested on a 4-processor AMD Opteron 2.8 GHz system with 1GB memory,
10G Chelsio card. Each BW number is the sum of 3 iterations of
individual tests using 512, 16K, 64K & 128K I/O sizes, in Mb/s:
