Instead of unconditional queueing of ready-to-consume skbuff_heads to flush_skb_cache, feed skb_cache with them instead if it's not full already. This greatly reduces the frequency of kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() calls. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin <redacted> --- net/core/skbuff.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
