dst_entry::__refcnt is highly contended in scenarios where many connections happen from and to the same IP. The reference count is an atomic_t, so the reference count operations have to take the cache-line exclusive. Aside of the unavoidable reference count contention there is another significant problem which is caused by that: False sharing. perf top identified two affected read accesses. dst_entry::lwtstate and rtable::rt_genid. dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts it into a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at the beginning of the struct. That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64 bytes of the structure, but there is also dst_entry::lwtstate which is located after the reference count and in the same cache line. This member is read after a reference count has been acquired. struct rtable embeds a struct dst_entry at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a size of 112 bytes, which means that the struct members of rtable which follow the dst member share the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt. Especially rtable::rt_genid is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired already. When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic operation these read accesses stall. This was found when analysing the memtier benchmark in 1:100 mode, which amplifies the problem extremly. Move the rt[6i]_uncached[_list] members out of struct rtable and struct rt6_info into struct dst_entry to provide padding and move the lwtstate member after that so it ends up in the same cache line. The resulting improvement depends on the micro-architecture and the number of CPUs. It ranges from +20% to +120% with a localhost memtier/memcached benchmark.
