IB/rxe: remove unnecessary skb_clone
In send_atomic_ack function, it is not necessary to make a skb_clone. To gain better performance (high throughput and low latency), this skb_clone is removed. The following tests are made. server client --------- --------- |1.1.1.1|<----rxe-channel--->|1.1.1.2| --------- --------- On server: rping -s -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512 On client: rping -c -a 1.1.1.1 -v -C 1000 -S 512 The kernel config CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK is enabled on both server and client. This test runs for several hours. There is no memory leak and the whole system can work well. Based on the above network, the following tests are made. Server: ibv_rc_pingpong -d rxe0 -g 1 Client: ibv_rc_pingpong -d rxe0 -g 1 1.1.1.1 The test results on Server(10 tests are made). Before: Throughput is 137.07 Mbit/sec Latency is 517.76 usec/iter After: Throughput is 148.85 Mbit/sec Latency is 476.64 usec/iter The throughput is enhanced and the latency is reduced.
