From 139653bc6635bcf0923a1d4fa06d3ac594528dd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Lu Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 02:02:56 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net/smc: Remove corked dealyed work Based on the manual of TCP_CORK [1] and MSG_MORE [2], these two options have the same effect. Applications can set these options and informs the kernel to pend the data, and send them out only when the socket or syscall does not specify this flag. In other words, there's no need to send data out by a delayed work, which will queue a lot of work. This removes corked delayed work with SMC_TX_CORK_DELAY (250ms), and the applications control how/when to send them out. It improves the performance for sendfile and throughput, and remove unnecessary race of lock_sock(). This also unlocks the limitation of sndbuf, and try to fill it up before sending.
