Paolo Abeni 0a463c78d2 udp: avoid a cache miss on dequeue
Since UDP no more uses sk->destructor, we can clear completely
the skb head state before enqueuing. Amend and use
skb_release_head_state() for that.

All head states share a single cacheline, which is not
normally used/accesses on dequeue. We can avoid entirely accessing
such cacheline implementing and using in the UDP code a specialized
skb free helper which ignores the skb head state.

This saves a cacheline miss at skb deallocation time.

v1 -> v2:
  replaced secpath_reset() with skb_release_head_state()

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
