From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 12:11:19 +0000 (+0200) Subject: netfilter: xt_rateest: Better struct xt_rateest layout X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=339bb99e4a8ba1f8960eed21d50be808b35ad22a;p=linux-beck.git netfilter: xt_rateest: Better struct xt_rateest layout We currently dirty two cache lines in struct xt_rateest, this hurts SMP performance. This patch moves lock/bstats/rstats at beginning of structure so that they share a single cache line.
