Re: [PATCH] poll: Avoid extra wakeups in select/poll

Christoph Lameter a écrit :

For the udpping test load these patches have barely any effect:

git2p1 is the first version of the patch
git2p2 is the second version (this one)

But... udpping does *not* use poll() nor select(), unless I am mistaken ?

If you really want to test this patch with udpping, you might add a poll() call
before recvfrom() :

                while(1) {
+                       struct pollfd pfd = { .fd = sock, .events = POLLIN};
+                       poll(pfd, 1, -1);
                        nbytes = recvfrom(sock, msg, min(inblocksize, sizeof(msg)),
                                                                0, &inad, &inadlen);
                        if (nbytes < 0) {
                                perror("recvfrom");
                                break;
                        }
                        if (sendto(sock, msg, nbytes, 0, &inad, inadlen) < 0) {
                                perror("sendto");
                                break;
                        }
                }

Part about recvfrom() wakeup avoidance is in David net-2.6 tree, and saves 2 us on udpping here.

Is it what you call git2p1 ?
