From: Jamal Hadi <hadi@shell.cyberus.ca> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 07:38:44 -0400 (EDT) Yes, you have a nice setup and thats why you should test all the patches DaveM is posting. Dave, Paul is running in a real ISP environment i think he is very valuable in helping to test these patches and collect any says that might be needed. Now watch him disapear ;-> If he doesn't test my patches he isn't very useful, so we'll see :-) Additional thought Dave: i think prefetching the rth would help in 2.5 at least when you have lotsa collisions. call prefetch(nextrth) right after smp_read_barrier_depends() everywhere in route.c You're going to prefetch "nextrth" when the first thing we're going to access is "&nextrth->fl"? :-) It only makes sense to prefetch the 'fl' member of the first hash chain entry and that's what I've done in my tree. This points out that it would make sense to put the struct flowi up into the dst entry. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
