Date: Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:12:35 +0200 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: percpu net_device refcount We tried very hard to remove all possible dev_hold()/dev_put() pairs in network stack, using RCU conversions. There is still an unavoidable device refcount change for every dst we create/destroy, and this can slow down some workloads (routers or some app servers) We can switch to a percpu refcount implementation, now dynamic per_cpu infrastructure is mature. On a 64 cpus machine, this consumes 256 bytes per device.
