    [UDP]: UDP can use sk_hash to speedup lookups · 95f30b33

    In a prior patch, I introduced a sk_hash field (__sk_common.skc_hash)  to let
    tcp lookups use one cache line per unmatched entry instead of two.
    
    We can also use sk_hash to speedup UDP part as well. We store in sk_hash the
    hnum value, and use sk->sk_hash (same cache line than 'next' pointer),
    instead of inet->num (different cache line)
    
    Note : We still have a false sharing problem for SMP machines, because
    sock_hold(sock) dirties the cache line containing the 'next' pointer. Not
    counting the udp_hash_lock rwlock. (did someone mentioned RCU ? :) )
