Hi misc, I've been reading that some improvements are being made to the network stack regarding SMP.
I've also read that this is just starting, and that the KERNEL_LOCK will still be present in 5.9 (seen it here: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160302155046), but do you know if this will help with IPSec/AES (or AES-ni) processing speed in the future, being able to use multiple cores instead of using only one? We'd need to establish a 1Gbps IPsec link between two sites and this would definitely help I think. Thanks!
