From 9b0c290e78d667e6a483bde8c7cef7dd15f49017 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2010 22:03:38 +0000 Subject: fib: introduce fib_alias_accessed() helper Perf tools session at NFWS 2010 pointed out a false sharing on struct fib_alias that can be avoided pretty easily, if we set FA_S_ACCESSED bit only if needed (ie : not already set) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
