Several small code and performance improvements in stack TX datapath,
including:
- Compiler branch predictor hints.
- Minimize variables scope.
- Move tx_info non-inline flow handling to a separate function.
- Calculate data_offset in compile time rather than in runtime
(for !lso_header_size branch).
- Avoid trinary-operator ("?") when value can be preset in a matching
branch.
Performance tests:
Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Gain is too small to be measurable, no degradation sensed.
Results are similar for IPv4 and IPv6.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
