[PATCH net-next 0/7] ipv6: tcp: no longer rebuild fl6 at each transmit

[Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>]

TCP v6 spends a good amount of time rebuilding a fresh fl6 at each
transmit in inet6_csk_xmit()/inet6_csk_route_socket().

TCP v4 caches the information in inet->cork.fl.u.ip4 instead.

This series changes TCP v6 to behave the same, saving cpu cycles
and reducing cache line misses and stack use.

Eric Dumazet (7):
  ipv6: add daddr/final storage in struct ipv6_pinfo
  ipv6: use np->final in inet6_sk_rebuild_header()
  ipv6: use inet->cork.fl.u.ip6 and np->final in
    ip6_datagram_dst_update()
  ipv6: inet6_csk_xmit() and inet6_csk_update_pmtu() use
    inet->cork.fl.u.ip6
  tcp: populate inet->cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_connect()
  tcp: populate inet->cork.fl.u.ip6 in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()
  tcp: inet6_csk_xmit() optimization
