Using snmp_get_cpu_field_batch() allows for better cpu cache utilization, especially on hosts with large number of cpus. Also remove special handling when mptcp mibs where not yet allocated. I chose to use temporary storage on the stack to keep this patch simple. We might in the future use the storage allocated in netstat_seq_show(). Combined with prior patch (inlining snmp_get_cpu_field) time to fetch and output mptcp counters on a 256 cpu host [1] goes from 75 usec to 16 usec. [1] L1 cache size is 32KB, it is not big enough to hold all dataset. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
