sctp: linearize early if it's not GSO
Because otherwise when crc computation is still needed it's way more expensive than on a linear buffer to the point that it affects performance. It's so expensive that netperf test gives a perf output as below: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 18,62% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] crc32_generic_shift 2,57% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __pskb_pull_tail 1,94% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] fib_table_lookup 1,90% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 1,66% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 1,63% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1,59% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_packet_transmit 1,55% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] memcpy_erms 1,42% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_rcv # netperf -H 192.168.10.1 -l 10 -t SCTP_STREAM -cC -- -m 12000 SCTP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.10.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 212992 212992 12000 10.00 3016.42 2.88 3.78 1.874 2.462 After patch: Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 2,75% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] memcpy_erms 2,63% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 2,39% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] fib_table_lookup 2,04% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __pskb_pull_tail 1,91% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock 1,91% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_packet_transmit 1,72% netserver [mlx4_en] [k] mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1,68% netserver [sctp] [k] sctp_rcv # netperf -H 192.168.10.1 -l 10 -t SCTP_STREAM -cC -- -m 12000 SCTP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.10.1 () port 0 AF_INET Recv Send Send Utilization Service Demand Socket Socket Message Elapsed Send Recv Send Recv Size Size Size Time Throughput local remote local remote bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/s % S % S us/KB us/KB 212992 212992 12000 10.00 3681.77 3.83 3.46 2.045 1.849 Fixes: 3acb50c18d8d ("sctp: delay as much as possible skb_linearize") Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
