Message-Id: <1449044735-68599-5-git-send-email-jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 00:25:22 -0800 From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, nhorman@...hat.com, sassmann@...hat.com, jogreene@...hat.com, Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com> Subject: [net-next 04/17] i40e/i40evf: prefetch skb data on transmit From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com> Issue a prefetch for data early in the transmit path. This should not be generally needed for Tx traffic, but it helps immensely for pktgen workloads and should help for forwarding workloads as well.
