Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: refactor ndo_select_queue() Currently, on most devices implementing ndo_select_queue(), we get 2 indirect calls per xmit packet, at least in some scenarios. We can avoid one of such indirect calls refactoring the ndo_select_queue() usage so that we don't need anymore the 'fallback' argument. The first patch renames a helper used later as a public API, the second one changes the af packet implementation so that it uses the common infrastructure to select the xmit queue, and the second patch drops the now unneeded argument from ndo_select_queue(). Alternatively we could use the INDIRECT_CALL_WRAPPER infrastructure to avoid the fallback indirect call in the common case, but this solution allows also for some code cleanup. v1 -> v2: - renamed select queue helpers, as per Eric's and David's suggestions ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
