This series applies the indirect calls helper introduced with commit
283c16a2dfd3 ("indirect call wrappers: helpers to speed-up indirect
calls of builtin") to more hooks inside the network stack.
Overall this avoids up to 4 indirect calls for each RX packets,
giving small but measurable gain TCP_RR workloads and 5% under UDP
flood.
Paolo Abeni (4):
net: use indirect calls helpers for ptype hook
net: use indirect calls helpers for L3 handler hooks
net: use indirect calls helpers at early demux stage
net: use indirect calls helpers at the socket layer
