Subject: Re: [PATCH] apparmor: Fix network performance issue in

Hi JJ.

Attached are the perf annotations for DEFINE_AUDIT_SK (percentages are relative to the fn).   
Our kernel performance testing is carried out with default installs which means AppArmor 
is enabled but the performance tests are unconfined. It was obvious that the overhead of 
DEFINE_AUDIT_SK was significant for smaller packet sizes (typical of synthetic benchmarks) 
and that it didn't need to execute for the unconfined case,  hence the patch.  I didn't 
spend any time looking at the performance of confined tasks.  It may be worth your time to 
look at this.

Comparing my current tip (2601dd392dd1) to tip+patch I'm seeing an increase of 3-6% in netperf
throughput for packet sizes 64-1024.
