3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 21d1196a35f5686c4323e42a62fdb4b23b0ab4a3 ] commit 45f00f99d6e ("ipv4: tcp: clean up tcp_v4_early_demux()") added a performance regression for non GRO traffic, basically disabling IP early demux. IPv6 stack resets transport header in ip6_rcv() before calling IP early demux in ip6_rcv_finish(), while IPv4 does this only in ip_local_deliver_finish(), _after_ IP early demux. GRO traffic happened to enable IP early demux because transport header is also set in inet_gro_receive() Instead of reverting the faulty commit, we can make IPv4/IPv6 behave the same : transport_header should be set in ip_rcv() instead of ip_local_deliver_finish() ip_local_deliver_finish() can also use skb_network_header_len() which is faster than ip_hdrlen() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tom Herbert <therbert@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
