From e11ecddf5128011c936cc5360780190cbc901fdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 04:19:51 -0700 Subject: tcp: use TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags in input path Input path of TCP do not currently uses TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags, which is only used in output path. tcp_recvmsg(), looks at tcp_hdr(skb)->syn for every skb found in receive queue, and its unfortunate because this bit is located in a cache line right before the payload. We can simplify TCP by copying tcp flags into TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_flags. This patch does so, and avoids the cache line miss in tcp_recvmsg() Following patches will - allow a segment with FIN being coalesced in tcp_try_coalesce() - simplify tcp_collapse() by not copying the headers.
