From d5bd0146f0d61f7dc9904a7cc6d5cb9832034de4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Turton Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:13:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Improve cache line coherency of ingress qdisc Move the ingress qdisc members of struct net_device from the transmit cache line to the receive cache line to avoid cache line ping-pong. These members are only used on the receive path. Signed-off-by: Neil Turton Signed-off-by: David S.
