Merge branch 'skbuff-micro-optimize-flow-dissection'
Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== skbuff: micro-optimize flow dissection This little number makes all of the flow dissection functions take raw input data pointer as const (1-5) and shuffles the branches in __skb_header_pointer() according to their hit probability. The result is +20 Mbps per flow/core with one Flow Dissector pass per packet. This affects RPS (with software hashing), drivers that use eth_get_headlen() on their Rx path and so on. From v2 [1]: - reword some commit messages as a potential fix for NIPA; - no functional changes. From v1 [0]: - rebase on top of the latest net-next. This was super-weird, but I double-checked that the series applies with no conflicts, and then on Patchwork it didn't; - no other changes.
