commit 6daef95b8c914866a46247232a048447fff97279 upstream. Avoid cache line miss dereferencing struct page if we can. page_copy_sane() mostly deals with order-0 pages. Extra cache line miss is visible on TCP recvmsg() calls dealing with GRO packets (typically 45 page frags are attached to one skb). Bringing the 45 struct pages into cpu cache while copying the data is not free, since the freeing of the skb (and associated page frags put_page()) can happen after cache lines have been evicted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
