[UDP]: UDP can use sk_hash to speedup lookups
In a prior patch, I introduced a sk_hash field (__sk_common.skc_hash) to let tcp lookups use one cache line per unmatched entry instead of two. We can also use sk_hash to speedup UDP part as well. We store in sk_hash the hnum value, and use sk->sk_hash (same cache line than 'next' pointer), instead of inet->num (different cache line) Note : We still have a false sharing problem for SMP machines, because sock_hold(sock) dirties the cache line containing the 'next' pointer. Not counting the udp_hash_lock rwlock. (did someone mentioned RCU ? :) ) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
