On hosts with a lot of cores, RPC workloads suffer from heavy contention on slab spinlocks.
20.69% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
5.64% [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
3.83% [kernel] [k] syscall_return_via_sysret
3.48% [kernel] [k] __entry_text_start
1.76% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
1.64% [kernel] [k] __fget
For each sendmsg(), we allocate one skb, and free it at the time ACK packet comes.
In many cases, ACK packets are handled by another cpus, and this unfortunately
incurs heavy costs for slab layer.
This patch uses an extra pointer in socket structure, so that we try to reuse
the same skb and avoid these expensive costs.
We cache at most one skb per socket so this should be safe as far as
memory pressure is concerned.

README
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.
