sk->sk_refcnt is dirtied for every TCP/UDP incoming packet. This is a performance issue if multiple cpus hit a common socket, or multiple sockets are chained due to SO_REUSEPORT. By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets are mostly read. As they contain the lookup keys, this has a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them. These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder for various fields, depending on the socket type. Tested: SYN flood hitting a 16 RX queues NIC. TCP listener using 16 sockets and SO_REUSEPORT and SO_INCOMING_CPU for proper siloing. Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps Kernel profile looked like : 11.68% [kernel] [k] sha_transform 6.51% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_listener 5.07% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_established 4.15% [kernel] [k] memcpy_erms 3.46% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table 2.74% [kernel] [k] fib_table_lookup 2.54% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack 2.34% [kernel] [k] tcp_conn_request 2.05% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core 2.03% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
