Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: rps/rfs improvements Jason Xing attempted to optimize napi_schedule_rps() by avoiding unneeded NET_RX_SOFTIRQ raises: [1], [2] This is quite complex to implement properly. I chose to implement the idea, and added a similar optimization in ____napi_schedule() Overall, in an intensive RPC workload, with 32 TX/RX queues with RFS I was able to observe a ~10% reduction of NET_RX_SOFTIRQ invocations. While this had no impact on throughput or cpu costs on this synthetic benchmark, we know that firing NET_RX_SOFTIRQ from softirq handler can force __do_softirq() to wakeup ksoftirqd when need_resched() is true. This can have a latency impact on stressed hosts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
