Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next] net: poll/select low latency socket support

From: Eliezer Tamir <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 10:28:03 +0300

select/poll busy-poll support.

Split sysctl value into two separate ones, one for read and one for poll.
updated Documentation/sysctl/net.txt

Add a new poll flag POLL_LL. When this flag is set, sock_poll will call
sk_poll_ll if possible. sock_poll sets this flag in its return value
to indicate to select/poll when a socket that can busy poll is found.

When poll/select have nothing to report, call the low-level
sock_poll again until we are out of time or we find something.

Once the system call finds something, it stops setting POLL_LL, so it can
return the result to the user ASAP.

+low_latency_poll
+----------------
+Low latency busy poll timeout for poll and select. (needs CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL)
+Approximate time in us to spin waiting for packets on the device queue.
+Recommended value depends on the number of sockets you poll on.
+For several sockets 50, for several hundreds 100.
+For more than that you probably want to use epoll.
+Note that only sockets with SO_LL set will be busy polled, so you want to either
+selectively set SO_LL on those sockets or set sysctl.net.low_latency_read globally.
+May increase power usage.
+Default: 0 (off)
