Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: provide better locality for retransmit timer TCP stack uses three timers per flow, currently spread this way: - sk->sk_timer : keepalive timer - icsk->icsk_retransmit_timer : retransmit timer - icsk->icsk_delack_timer : delayed ack timer This series moves the retransmit timer to sk->sk_timer location, to increase data locality in TX paths. keepalive timers are not often used, this change should be neutral for them. After the series we have following fields: - sk->tcp_retransmit_timer : retransmit timer, in sock_write_tx group - icsk->icsk_delack_timer : delayed ack timer - icsk->icsk_keepalive_timer : keepalive timer Moving icsk_delack_timer in a beter location would also be welcomed. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251124175013.1473655-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
