inet: remove some sk_listener dependencies listener can be source of false sharing. request sock has some useful information like : ireq->ir_iif, ireq->ir_num, ireq->ireq_net This patch does not solve the major problem of having to read sk->sk_protocol which is sharing a cache line with sk->sk_wmem_alloc. (This same field is read later in ip_build_and_send_pkt()) One idea would be to move sk_protocol close to sk_family (using 8 bits instead of 16 for sk_family seems enough) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
