From 016f3d1818b047c80100d92f023916f9c8d34d3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li RongQing Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 11:52:10 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vxlan: reduce dirty cache line in vxlan_find_mac vxlan_find_mac() unconditionally set f->used for every packet, this causes a cache miss for every packet, since remote, hlist and used of vxlan_fdb share the same cache line, which are accessed when send every packets. so f->used is set only if not equal to jiffies, to reduce dirty cache line times, this gives 3% speed-up with small packets.
