This patch optimises csum_partial_copy_generic() by making use of cache instructions (dcbt/dcbz) just like copy_tofrom_user() does
On a TCP benchmark using socklib on the loopback interface on which checksum offload and scatter/gather have been deactivated, we get about 20% performance increase. v2 is just a new issue with format-patch -M -C, other changes.
