Subject: ipv4: tcp: set SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE for ip_send_unicast_reply()
X-Git-Tag: v4.7~373^2~354^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9d6532b567489196dac4ce60c62343e43228759;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git

ipv4: tcp: set SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE for ip_send_unicast_reply()

TCP uses per cpu 'sockets' to send some packets :
- RST packets ( tcp_v4_send_reset()) )
- ACK packets for SYN_RECV and TIMEWAIT sockets

By setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE flag, we tell sock_wfree()
to not call sk_write_space() since these internal sockets
do not care.

This gives a small performance improvement, merely by allowing
cpu to properly predict the sock_wfree() conditional branch,
and avoiding one atomic operation.
