      net: Add sendmmsg socket system call · 228e548e
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send
      version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily
      based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg.
      
      I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using
      this new syscall:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c
      
      The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The
      benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets.
      
      64B UDP
      
      batch   pkts/sec
      1       804570
      2       872800 (+ 8 %)
      4       916556 (+14 %)
      8       939712 (+17 %)
      16      952688 (+18 %)
      32      956448 (+19 %)
      64      964800 (+20 %)
      
      64B raw socket
      
      batch   pkts/sec
      1       1201449
      2       1350028 (+12 %)
      4       1461416 (+22 %)
      8       1513080 (+26 %)
      16      1541216 (+28 %)
      32      1553440 (+29 %)
      64      1557888 (+30 %)
      
      We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30%
      on raw socket send.

      net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks · e67f88dd
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Four years ago, Patrick made a change to hold rtnl mutex during netlink
      dump callbacks.
      
      I believe it was a wrong move. This slows down concurrent dumps, making
      good old /proc/net/ files faster than rtnetlink in some situations.
      
      This occurred to me because one "ip link show dev ..." was _very_ slow
      on a workload adding/removing network devices in background.
      
      All dump callbacks are able to use RCU locking now, so this patch does
      roughly a revert of commits :
      
      1c2d670f : [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks
      6313c1e0 : [RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks
      
      This let writers fight for rtnl mutex and readers going full speed.
      
      It also takes care of phonet : phonet_route_get() is now called from rcu
      read section. I renamed it to phonet_route_get_rcu()
