Linux kernel source tree

Fdb's used and updated fields are written to on every packet forward and packet receive respectively. Thus if we are receiving packets from a particular fdb, they'll cause false-sharing with everyone who has looked it up (even if it didn't match, since mac/vid share cache line!). The "used" field is even worse since it is updated on every packet forward to that fdb, thus the standard config where X ports use a single gateway results in 100% fdb false-sharing. Note that this patch does not prevent the last scenario, but it makes it better for other bridge participants which are not using that fdb (and are only doing lookups over it). The point is with this move we make sure that only communicating parties get the false-sharing, in a later patch we'll show how to avoid that too.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
