Merge branch 'mptcp-avoid-workqueue-usage-for-data'
Paolo Abeni says: ==================== mptcp: avoid workqueue usage for data The current locking schema used to protect the MPTCP data-path requires the usage of the MPTCP workqueue to process the incoming data, depending on trylock result. The above poses scalability limits and introduces random delays in MPTCP-level acks. With this series we use a single spinlock to protect the MPTCP data-path, removing the need for workqueue and delayed ack usage. This additionally reduces the number of atomic operations required per packet and cleans-up considerably the poll/wake-up code. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1606413118.git.pabeni@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
