From 8ba3c9d1c6d75d1e6af2087278b30e17f68e1fff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 17:52:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: return EPOLLOUT from tcp_poll only when notsent_bytes is half the limit If there was any event available on the TCP socket, tcp_poll() will be called to retrieve all the events. In tcp_poll(), we call sk_stream_is_writeable() which returns true as long as we are at least one byte below notsent_lowat. This will result in quite a few spurious EPLLOUT and frequent tiny sendmsg() calls as a result. Similar to sk_stream_write_space(), use __sk_stream_is_writeable with a wake value of 1, so that we set EPOLLOUT only if half the space is available for write.
