Receive completion and Reply handling are done by a BOUND workqueue, meaning they run on only one CPU. Posting receives is currently done in the send_request path, which on large systems is typically done on a different CPU than the one handling Receive completions. This results in movement of Receive-related cachelines between the sending and receiving CPUs. More importantly, it means that currently Receives are posted while the transport's write lock is held, which is unnecessary and costly. Finally, allocation of Receive buffers is performed on-demand in the Receive completion handler. This helps guarantee that they are allocated on the same NUMA node as the CPU that handles Receive completions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
