From: Jamal Hadi <hadi@shell.cyberus.ca> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 08:18:50 -0400 (EDT) I found in my tests with a ethernet driver that prefetching the _next_ dma descriptor gave better numbers than prefetching the current one but i didnt spend too much time. Two issues: 1) We have some cycles to borrow for head entry, we can make prefetch right before rcu_read_lock() 2) Ideally, hash chains will not exceed 1 (2 at the max) entries. Just some thinking... - : 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
