We put shinfo->gso_segs in TCP_SKB_CB(skb) a while back for performance reasons.
This was in commit cd7d8498c9a5 ("tcp: change tcp_skb_pcount() location") This patch series complete the job for gso_size and gso_type, so that we do not bring 2 extra cache lines in tcp write xmit fast path, and making tcp_init_tso_segs() simpler and faster. Eric Dumazet (5): tcp: reserve tcp_skb_mss() to tcp stack tcp: fill shinfo->gso_type at last moment tcp: tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() no longer need struct sock parameter tcp: fill shinfo->gso_size at last moment tcp: remove obsolete check in tcp_set_skb_tso_segs() include/net/tcp.h | 13 ++++++++----- net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | 14 +++++--------- net/ipv4/tcp_offload.c | 4 ++-- net/ipv4/tcp_output.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 4 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) -- 2.2.0.rc0.207.ga3a616c -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
