[PATCH net-next 00/11] UDP/IPv6 refactoring

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Thu Apr 28 2022 - 06:57:31 EST


Refactor UDP/IPv6 and especially udpv6_sendmsg() paths. The end result looks
cleaner than it was before and the series also removes a bunch of instructions
and other overhead from the hot path positively affecting performance.

It was a part of a larger series, there were some perf numbers for it, see
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1648981570.git.asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx/

Pavel Begunkov (11):
ipv6: optimise ipcm6 cookie init
udp/ipv6: refactor udpv6_sendmsg udplite checks
udp/ipv6: move pending section of udpv6_sendmsg

udp/ipv6: optimise out daddr reassignment
udp/ipv6: clean up udpv6_sendmsg's saddr init
ipv6: partially inline fl6_update_dst()
