Merge branch 'net-sched-act_skbedit-lockless-data-path'



Davide Caratti says:

====================
net/sched: act_skbedit: lockless data path

the data path of act_skbedit can be faster if we avoid using spinlocks:
 - patch 1 converts act_skbedit statistics to use per-cpu counters
 - patch 2 lets act_skbedit use RCU to read/update its configuration

test procedure (using pktgen from https://github.com/netoptimizer):

 # ip link add name eth1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev eth1 up
 # tc qdisc add dev eth1 clsact
 # tc filter add dev eth1 egress matchall action skbedit priority c1a0:c1a0
 # for c in 1 2 4 ; do
 > ./pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -v -s 64 -t $c -n 5000000 -i eth1
 > done

test results (avg. pps/thread)
