The current source pushes skb into dev-done queue by calling
skb_dequeue_tail() and then pop it by skb_dequeue() to branch to
rx_cleanup state for freeing urb/skb in usbnet_bh(). It takes extra CPU
load, 2.21% (skb_queue_tail) as follows,
- 11.58% 0.26% swapper [k] usbnet_bh
- 11.32% usbnet_bh
- 6.43% skb_dequeue
6.34% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 2.21% skb_queue_tail
2.19% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 1.68% consume_skb
- 0.97% kfree_skbmem
0.80% kmem_cache_free
0.53% skb_release_data
To reduce the extra CPU load use return values to call helper function
usb_free_skb() to free the resources instead of calling skb_queue_tail()
and skb_dequeue() for push and pop respectively.
- 7.87% 0.25% swapper [k] usbnet_bh
- 7.62% usbnet_bh
- 4.81% skb_dequeue
4.74% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 1.75% consume_skb
- 0.98% kfree_skbmem
0.78% kmem_cache_free
0.58% skb_release_data
0.53% smsc95xx_rx_fixup

v4:
- Use usb_free_skb() helper function instead of goto label
v3:
- Replace return values with proper -ERR values in rx_process()
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221221075924.1141346-1-lsahn@xxxxxxxxxx/
v2:
- Replace goto label with return statement to reduce goto entropy
- Add CPU load information by perf in commit message
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221221044230.1012787-1-lsahn@xxxxxxxxxx/
