udp: avoid a cache miss on dequeue
Since UDP no more uses sk->destructor, we can clear completely the skb head state before enqueuing. Amend and use skb_release_head_state() for that. All head states share a single cacheline, which is not normally used/accesses on dequeue. We can avoid entirely accessing such cacheline implementing and using in the UDP code a specialized skb free helper which ignores the skb head state. This saves a cacheline miss at skb deallocation time. v1 -> v2: replaced secpath_reset() with skb_release_head_state() Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
