net: dev: BYPASS for lockless qdisc
This patch series is aimed at improving xmit performances of lockless qdisc
in the uncontended scenario.
After the lockless refactor pfifo_fast can't leverage the BYPASS optimization.
Due to retpolines the overhead for the avoidables enqueue and dequeue operations
has increased and we see measurable regressions.
The first patch introduces the BYPASS code path for lockless qdisc, and the
second one optimizes such path further. Overall this avoids up to 3 indirect
calls per xmit packet. Detailed performance figures are reported in the 2nd
patch.
v2 -> v3:
- qdisc_is_empty() has a const argument (Eric)
v1 -> v2:
- use really an 'empty' flag instead of 'not_empty', as
suggested by Eric

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
