indeed, our typical workload is connected mode IPoIB on mlx4 QDR hardware
where one cannot benefit from hardware offloads.

For a bit of background on the issue:

It all started nearly 3 years ago when trying to understand why IPoIB BW was
so low in our setups and why ksoftirqd used 100% of one CPU. A kernel profile
trace showed that the CPU spent most of it's time in checksum computation (from
the only old trace I managed to unearth):

Function Hit Time Avg
-------- --- ---- ---
schedule 1730 629976998 us 364148.5 us
csum_partial 10813465 20944414 us 1.936 us
mwait_idle_with_hints 1451 9858861 us 6794.529 us
get_page_from_freelist 10110434 8120524 us 0.803 us
alloc_pages_current 10093675 5180650 us 0.513 us
__phys_addr 35554783 4471387 us 0.125 us
zone_statistics 10110434 4360871 us 0.431 us
ipoib_cm_alloc_rx_skb 673899 4343949 us 6.445 us

After having recoded the checksum to use 2 ALUs, csum_partial() disappeared
from the tracer radar. IPoIB BW got from ~12Gb/s to ~ 20Gb/s and ksoftirqd load
dropped down drastically. Sorry, I could not manage to locate my old traces and
results, those seem to have been lost in the mist of time.

I did some micro benchmark (dirty hack code below) of different solutions.
It looks like processing 128-byte blocks in 4 chains allows the best performance,
but there are plenty other possibilities.

FWIW, this code has been running as is at our customers sites for 3 years now.

Sébastien.
