That is the only part of this patch I'm willing to entertain at this time, as long as Herbert Xu ACKs it. How much of that quoted %3 gain does this change alone give you? Also, please post networking patches to netdev@vger.kernel.org. Because you didn't, the majority of the networking maintainers did not see your dst patch submissions. It's mentioned in linux/MAINTAINERS for a reason: NETWORKING [GENERAL] P: Networking Team M: netdev@vger.kernel.org L: netdev@vger.kernel.org S: Maintained Thanks.
