[PATCH net-next v2 00/10] udp/ipv6 optimisations

[Pavel Begunkov]

Shed some weight from udp/ipv6. Zerocopy benchmarks over dummy showed
~5% tx/s improvement, should be similar for small payload non-zc
cases.

The performance comes from killing 4 atomics and a couple of big struct
memcpy/memset. 1/10 removes a pair of atomics on dst refcounting for
cork->skb setup, 9/10 saves another pair on cork init. 5/10 and 8/10
kill extra 88B memset and memcpy respectively.

v2: add a comment about setting dst early in ip6_setup_cork()
    drop non-udp patches for now
    add patch 10

Pavel Begunkov (10):
  ipv6: optimise dst refcounting on skb init
  udp6: shuffle up->pending AF_INET bits
  ipv6: remove daddr temp buffer in __ip6_make_skb
  ipv6: clean up cork setup/release
  ipv6: don't zero inet_cork_full::fl after use
  ipv6: pass full cork into __ip6_append_data()
  udp6: pass flow in ip6_make_skb together with cork
  udp6: don't make extra copies of iflow
  ipv6: optimise dst refcounting on cork init
  ipv6: partially inline ipv6_fixup_options
