SubjectRe: (RFC): SKB Initialization
> The patch reduces the numer of cylces by 25%

Er, I'm not getting that from just the numbers you show.

The total ave number of cycles in alloc_skb before is approx 268.

Total number of cycles in alloc_skb after is approx 468.

So in order to reduce the total ave number of cycles, you
need __kfree_skb to reduce by more than approx 200. (Since
thats where you moved the code to).

So unless we see the total cycles in __kfree_skb, how
do we know? Or what am I missing?

thanks,
Nivedita
