      net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support · 02875878
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
      I found strange dst refcount false sharing.
      
      Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.
      
      Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
      packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y
      
      The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
      before even taking qdisc lock.
      
      As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
      packet schedulers or classifiers.
      
      This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
      or qdiscs/classifiers.
      
      Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
      following helper in their setup instead of the prior :
      
      	dev->priv_flags &= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
      ->
      	netif_keep_dst(dev);
      
      Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
      eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.
      
      The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
      rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
      smarter later.
