[PATCH 11/14] skbuff: drop null check from skb_zcopy

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Mon Jan 10 2022 - 20:25:34 EST


skb_zcopy() is used all around the networkong code with many of calls
sitting in generic not necessarily zerocopy paths. Many of callers
don't ever pass a NULL skb, however a NULL check inside skb_zcopy()
can't be optimised out. As with previous patch, move the check out of
the helper to a few places where it's needed.

It removes a bunch of extra ifs in non-zerocopy paths, which is nice.
E.g. before and after:

text data bss dec hex filename
8521472 0 0 8521472 820700 arch/x86/boot/bzImage
8521056 0 0 8521056 820560 arch/x86/boot/bzImage
delta=416B
