fedora 14 kernel performance with ip forwarding workload
by Jesse Brandeburg
The other day I was running the stock fedora kernel on my ip
forwarding setup, to see what the performance was, and the performance
wasn't very good.
system is S5520HC dual socket 2.93GHz Xeon 5570 (Nehalem) with 3 quad
port 82580 adapters (12 ports). Traffic is bidirectional 64 byte
packets being forwarded and received on each port, basically port to
port routing. I am only using 12 flows currently.
The driver is igb, and I am using an affinity script that lines up
each pair of ports that are forwarding traffic into optimal
configurations for cache locality. I am also disabling
remote_node_defrag_ratio to stop cross node traffic.
With the fedora default kernel from F14 it appears that
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y means that I cannot unload all of netfilter even if
I stop iptables service.
perf showed netfilter being prominent, and removing it gives me much
higher throughput. Is there a reason CONFIG_NETFILTER=y ? Isn't it a
good thing to be able to disable netfilter if you want to?

Can we set CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG to "m"
by Andrey Wagin
Hi All,
I found that currently CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG is not set. I suggest compile it
as a module. All other diag subsystems are compiled as modules.
# cat /boot/config-3.9.0-0.rc4.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 | grep DIAG
# CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG is not set
CONFIG_UNIX_DIAG=m
CONFIG_INET_DIAG=m
CONFIG_INET_TCP_DIAG=m
CONFIG_INET_UDP_DIAG=m
CONFIG_INET_DCCP_DIAG=m
Socket diag subsystems are used by iproute2 and crtools.
Thanks,
Andrew Vagin

HZ=1000 in Fedora kernels
by Prarit Bhargava
Do we need this anymore, or can it be dropped to something more reasonable like
HZ=100 or HZ=250?
Does anyone have an actual issue where they require HZ=1000?

by 苦恼的饼仔
My laptop is HASEE K500B-i7D2 The wireless card is qualcomm atheros ar9285, it use ath9k driver Before using Fedora 18, and upgrade to the latest Kernel 3.7.9_x64 Fault conditions in the Internet process often automatically disconnected the upper right corner of the network icon shows not find the network, restart the service also to no avail, only to restart. Temporary use OpenSUSE 12.2, kernel 3.4.28_x64 in all normal, determined not to be a hardware problem.
