The current source pushes skb into dev-done queue by calling
skb_dequeue_tail() and then pop it by skb_dequeue() to branch to
rx_cleanup state for freeing urb/skb in usbnet_bh(). It takes extra CPU
load, 2.21% (skb_queue_tail) as follows,
- 11.58% 0.26% swapper [k] usbnet_bh
- 11.32% usbnet_bh
- 6.43% skb_dequeue
6.34% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 2.21% skb_queue_tail
2.19% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 1.68% consume_skb
- 0.97% kfree_skbmem
0.80% kmem_cache_free
0.53% skb_release_data
To reduce the extra CPU load use return values to call helper function
usb_free_skb() to free the resources instead of calling skb_queue_tail()
and skb_dequeue() for push and pop respectively.
- 7.87% 0.25% swapper [k] usbnet_bh
- 7.62% usbnet_bh
- 4.81% skb_dequeue
4.74% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
- 1.75% consume_skb
- 0.98% kfree_skbmem
0.78% kmem_cache_free
0.58% skb_release_data
0.53% smsc95xx_rx_fixup

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.
