During an oprofile session of linux-2.6.20 on a dual opteron system, I noticed
an expensive divide was done in tg3_poll().
I am using gcc-4.1.1, so the following comment from drivers/net/tg3.c seems
over-optimistic :
/* Do not place this n-ring entries value into the tp struct itself,
* we really want to expose these constants to GCC so that modulo et
* al. operations are done with shifts and masks instead of with
* hw multiply/modulo instructions. Another solution would be to
* replace things like '% foo' with '& (foo - 1)'.
*/
#define TG3_RX_RCB_RING_SIZE(tp) \
((tp->tg3_flags2 & TG3_FLG2_5705_PLUS) ? 512 : 1024)
