From: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9ecbfb06a078c4911fb444203e8e41d93d22f886 ] When we receive an skb and the ingress skb verdict program returns SK_PASS we currently set the ingress flag and put it on the workqueue so it can be turned into a sk_msg and put on the sk_msg ingress queue. Then finally telling userspace with data_ready hook. Here we observe that if the workqueue is empty then we can try to convert into a sk_msg type and call data_ready directly without bouncing through a workqueue. Its a common pattern to have a recv verdict program for visibility that always returns SK_PASS. In this case unless there is an ENOMEM error or we overrun the socket we can avoid the workqueue completely only using it when we fall back to error cases caused by memory pressure. By doing this we eliminate another case where data may be dropped if errors occur on memory limits in workqueue.
