[PATCH RFC bpf-next 28/52] net, xdp: prefetch data a bit when building an skb from an &xdp_frame

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Different cpumap tests showed that a couple of little careful
prefetches helps the performance. The only thing is to not go crazy:
only one cacheline to the right from the frame start and one to the
left -- if there is a metadata in front.
