From 46b13fc5c0f239f36e84665c73087d5fa86bfd86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 06:57:19 +0000 Subject: neigh: reorder struct neighbour It is important to move nud_state outside of the often modified cache line (because of refcnt), to reduce false sharing in neigh_event_send() This is a followup of commit 0ed8ddf4045f (neigh: Protect neigh->ha[] with a seqlock) This gives a 7% speedup on routing test with IP route cache disabled.
