From 7489aec8eed4f2f1eb3b4d35763bd3ea30b32ef5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 16:41:35 +0200 Subject: netfilter: xtables: stackptr should be percpu commit f3c5c1bfd4 (netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a performance regression, because stackptr array is shared by all cpus, adding cache line ping pongs. (16 cpus share a 64 bytes cache line) Fix this using alloc_percpu() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-By: Jan Engelhardt Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy --- net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'net/ipv4') diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c index 63958f3394a5..4b6c5ca610fc 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c +++ b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c @@ -336,7 +336,7 @@ ipt_do_table(struct sk_buff *skb, cpu = smp_processor_id(); table_base = private->entries[cpu]; jumpstack = (struct ipt_entry **)private->jumpstack[cpu]; - stackptr = &private->stackptr[cpu]; + stackptr = per_cpu_ptr(private->stackptr, cpu); origptr = *stackptr; e = get_entry(table_base, private->hook_entry[hook]); -- cgit v1.2.3
