From f84af32cbca70a3c6d30463dc08c7984af11c277 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:31:51 -0700 Subject: net: ip_queue_rcv_skb() helper When queueing a skb to socket, we can immediately release its dst if target socket do not use IP_CMSG_PKTINFO. tcp_data_queue() can drop dst too. This to benefit from a hot cache line and avoid the receiver, possibly on another cpu, to dirty this cache line himself. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
