Subject: net: Don't write to current task flags on every packet received.
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9754e293491e3a4e6c1ac020d25140b1ed3d9cd2;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

net: Don't write to current task flags on every packet received.

Even for non-pfmalloc SKBs, __netif_receive_skb() will do a
tsk_restore_flags() on current unconditionally.

Make __netif_receive_skb() a shim around the existing code, renamed to
__netif_receive_skb_core().  Let __netif_receive_skb() wrap the
__netif_receive_skb_core() call with the task flag modifications, if
necessary.
