While testing my inet defrag changes, I found that the senders could spend ~20% of cpu cycles in skb_set_owner_w() updating sk->sk_wmem_alloc for every fragment they cook, competing with TX completion of prior skbs possibly happening on another cpus. The solution to this problem is to use alloc_skb() instead of sock_wmalloc() and manually perform a single sk_wmem_alloc change.

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.
