[RFC 0/2] optimise UDP skb completion wakeups

[Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com>]

sock_wfree() tries to wake even when there are only read waiters and no
write waiters, which is the common scenario for io_uring. It'd also
attempt to wake if the write queue is far from being full. To avoid most
of this overhead add SOCK_NOSPACE support for UDP.

It brings +5% to UDP throughput with a CPU bound benchmark, and I observed
it taking 0.5-2% according to profiles in more realistic workloads.

Patch 1 introduces a new destructor udp_wfree(). The optimisation can be
implemented in sock_wfree() but that would either require patching up all
poll callbacks across the tree that are used in couple with sock_wfree(),
or limiting it to UDP with a flag.

Another option considered was to split out a write waitqueue, perhaps
conditionally, but it's bulkier, and the current version should also
benefit epoll workloads.

  udp: introduce udp specific skb destructor
