====================
net/sched: act_skbedit: lockless data path
the data path of act_skbedit can be faster if we avoid using spinlocks:
- patch 1 converts act_skbedit statistics to use per-cpu counters
- patch 2 lets act_skbedit use RCU to read/update its configuration
test procedure (using pktgen from https://github.com/netoptimizer):
# ip link add name eth1 type dummy
# ip link set dev eth1 up
# tc qdisc add dev eth1 clsact
# tc filter add dev eth1 egress matchall action skbedit priority c1a0:c1a0
# for c in 1 2 4 ; do
> ./pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -v -s 64 -t $c -n 5000000 -i eth1
> done
test results (avg. pps/thread)
$c | before patch | after patch | improvement

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.
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.
