Subject: tcp: tcp_sendmsg() page recycling
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=761965eab38d2cbc59c36e355c59609e3a04705a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

tcp: tcp_sendmsg() page recycling

If our TCP_PAGE(sk) is not shared (page_count() == 1), we can set page
offset to 0.

This permits better filling of the pages on small to medium tcp writes.

"tbench 16" results on my dev server (2x4x2 machine) :

Before : 3072 MB/s
After  : 3146 MB/s  (2.4 % gain)
