TCP options framework and MD5 patch set
by Mat Martineau
Hi Christoph -
Thanks again for posting the RFC patch set to netdev in December. In case
folks on this mailing list missed it, here's the link:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg472988.html
Other than the license information change, are you considering any other
modifications?
I suggest modifying the last section of the cover letter (the part
starting with "One point of discussion...") for the next round:
"""
There is still work to be done to more efficiently check for extra TCP
options in performance-sensitive code paths. A rate-limited static key
would nearly eliminate overhead if no extra TCP options are in use
system-wide, or a flag in a likely-hot cache line could work well.
For now we opted for a simple if (unlikely(!hlist_empty(...)) check.
"""
