From a9b204d1564702b704ad6fe74f10a102c7b87ba3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 11:14:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: tsq: avoid one atomic in tcp_wfree() Under high load, tcp_wfree() has an atomic operation trying to schedule a tasklet over and over. We can schedule it only if our per cpu list was empty. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
