Justin Iurman c447c5a9c4 net: ipv6: seg6_iptunnel: mitigate 2-realloc issue
[ Upstream commit 40475b63761abb6f8fdef960d03228a08662c9c4 ]

This patch mitigates the two-reallocations issue with seg6_iptunnel by
providing the dst_entry (in the cache) to the first call to
skb_cow_head(). As a result, the very first iteration would still
trigger two reallocations (i.e., empty cache), while next iterations
would only trigger a single reallocation.

Performance tests before/after applying this patch, which clearly shows
the improvement:

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.
