This patch adds /proc/sys/net/core/mem_pcpu_rsv sysctl file, to make SK_MEMORY_PCPU_RESERV tunable. Commit 3cd3399d ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache: "Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which would otherwise be cause of false sharing." sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable: atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp; If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB, changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced. Performance may be improved on system with many cores. Signed-off-by: Adam Li <adamli@os.amperecomputing.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter (Ampere) <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
