Hi Simon I am not familiar with LVS code, so I am probably wrong, but it seems it could be changed a bit. Some rwlocks might become spinlocks (faster than rwlocks) __ip_vs_securetcp_lock for example is always used with write_lock()/write_unlock(). This can be a regular spinlock without even knowing the code. Some lookups could use RCU to avoid cache line misses, and to be able to use spinlocks for the write side. It would be good to have a bench setup with the case of 16 legacy daemons, and check how many new connections per second can be established, in an LVS setup and an iptables based one. With 2.6.35 and RPS, a REDIRECT based solution can chose the target port without taking any lock (not counting conntrack internal costs of course), each cpu accessing local memory only. # No need is eth0 is a multiqueue NIC echo ffff >/sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus for c in `seq 0 15` do iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -m cpu --cpu $c -j REDIRECT --to-port $((1000 + $c)) done -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
