Optimise skb_attempt_defer_free() when run by the same CPU the skb was allocated on. Instead of __kfree_skb() -> kmem_cache_free() we can disable softirqs and put the buffer into cpu local caches. CPU bound TCP ping pong style benchmarking (i.e. netbench) showed a 1% throughput increase (392.2 -> 396.4 Krps). Cross checking with profiles, the total CPU share of skb_attempt_defer_free() dropped by 0.6%. Note, I'd expect the win doubled with rx only benchmarks, as the optimisation is for the receive path, but the test spends >55% of CPU doing writes.

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 reStructuredText 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.
