[PATCH v2 net-next 0/3] gro: micro-optimize dev_gro_receive()

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Sat Mar 13 2021 - 15:31:15 EST


This random series addresses some of suboptimal constructions used
in the main GRO entry point.
The main body is gro_list_prepare() simplification and pointer usage
optimization in dev_gro_receive() itself. Being mostly cosmetic, it
gives like +10 Mbps on my setup to both TCP and UDP (both single- and
multi-flow).

Since v1 [0]:
- drop the replacement of bucket index calculation with
reciprocal_scale() since it makes absolutely no sense (Eric);
- improve stack usage in dev_gro_receive() (Eric);
- reverse the order of patches to avoid changes superseding.

Alexander Lobakin (3):
gro: simplify gro_list_prepare()
gro: consistentify napi->gro_hash[x] access in dev_gro_receive()
gro: give 'hash' variable in dev_gro_receive() a less confusing name
