[Shinta Sugimoto]

Dear David,

I noticed that I sent wrong version (not the newest one) of the
patch set by mistake.  I will re-post the patch set soon, so could
you please wait for that?  I am sorry for the confusion.

Regards,
Shinta

 Subject: [PATCH 0/5] [XFRM,PFKEYV2]: MIGRATE support (take 2)
----

Hello,

Let me send an updated version of patch set of MIGRATE support
for XFRM/PFKEYv2.  About a week ago, I sent a request for comments
for this patch set.  All the comments received were taken into
account.  In summary, the changes are as follow:

- replace alloc & memcpy with kmemdup
- remove unnecessary null-check
- fix bugs in handling protocol value for selector 
- add sanity check for handling MIGRATE message from PF_KEY socket
- some other minor changes

Please note that the patch set is against current net-2.6.21
tree and these changes are available in the branch named
"migrate-20070207-2131" at:

git://git.linux-ipv6.org/gitroot/shinta/net-2.6.21-migrate.git


Regards,
Shinta

Ok, no problem.

[PATCH 0/5] NET Improve layering of structs dst_entry/rtable/rt6_info/dn_route to get less dcache footprint

[Eric Dumazet]

Hi David

Large routers/servers spend lot of CPU time in route cache lookups. This is 
because each item lookup uses two cache lines : the next pointer is at the 
begining of item, but keys are far away from this pointer.

Furthermore, the u unions declared in struct rtable, rt6_info and dn_route are 
imho quite ugly (forcing next pointer be at null offset)

This patch try to cleanup the layering and try to put the 'next' pointer near 
the fields used at lookup time (in ip_route_input() for example)

I prepared the following five patches :

[PATCH 1/5] : Introduce union in struct dst_entry, to prepare patches 2,3,4
[PATCH 2/5] : Convert ipv4 route to use the new dst_entry 'next' pointer
[PATCH 3/5] : Convert ipv6 route to use the new dst_entry 'next' pointer
[PATCH 4/5] : Convert decnet route to use the new dst_entry 'next' pointer
[PATCH 5/5] : Reorder fields of struct dst_entry

Thank you
Eric Dumazet

[PATCH 1/5] NET : Introduce union in struct dst_entry to hold 'next' pointer

[Eric Dumazet]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 304 bytes --]

This patch introduces an anonymous union to nicely express the fact that all 
objects inherited from struct dst_entry should access to the generic 'next' 
pointer but with appropriate type verification.

This patch is a prereq before following patches.

I've applied all of this, and fixed up the changelog description
of patch #4 as-needed :-)

Thanks a lot Eric.
