We use the same core loop as the new csum_partial, adding in the stores and exception handling code. To keep things simple we do all the exception fixup in csum_and_copy_from_user. This wrapper function is modelled on the generic checksum code and is careful to always calculate a complete checksum even if we only copied part of the data to userspace. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 19% with this patch. If I forced both the sender and receiver onto the same cpu (with the hope of shifting the benchmark from being cache bandwidth limited to cpu limited), adding this patch improved performance by 55% Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
