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
