Hi,
I have a question on netpoll and I think it is a good opportunity to ask my
question in this thread,
I have always wondered what is the use cases of netpoll anyway?
Some months ago, I was designing a caching mechanism within the network
stack. I was just polling in NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING and check some keys in my
hash map if it is HIT then I will respond to the incoming request from the
kernel via NETPOLL without engaging the real key-value store(Memcached) in
the userspace! In miss cases I only let the request go through the kernel
network stack and the Memcached application will respond to the request
individually. I only update my hash my with respect the outgoing message
in NF_IP_POST_ROUTING. I intended to reduce the latency of the key-value
stores' requests at the data centers since these key-value stores are
widely deployed in the data center at Facebook and Google.
In my scenario, I only used netpoll as a hack to make my code working
though, however, I never figure out, what problem netpoll intended to solve.
Thank you,
Alireza
