Eric Dumazet f35f821935 tcp: defer skb freeing after socket lock is released
tcp recvmsg() (or rx zerocopy) spends a fair amount of time
freeing skbs after their payload has been consumed.

A typical ~64KB GRO packet has to release ~45 page
references, eventually going to page allocator
for each of them.

Currently, this freeing is performed while socket lock
is held, meaning that there is a high chance that
BH handler has to queue incoming packets to tcp socket backlog.

This can cause additional latencies, because the user
thread has to process the backlog at release_sock() time,
and while doing so, additional frames can be added
by BH handler.

This patch adds logic to defer these frees after socket
lock is released, or directly from BH handler if possible.

Being able to free these skbs from BH handler helps a lot,
because this avoids the usual alloc/free assymetry,
when BH handler and user thread do not run on same cpu or
NUMA node.

One cpu can now be fully utilized for the kernel->user copy,
and another cpu is handling BH processing and skb/page
allocs/frees (assuming RFS is not forcing use of a single CPU)

Tested:
 100Gbit NIC
 Max throughput for one TCP_STREAM flow, over 10 runs

MTU : 1500
Before: 55 Gbit
After:  66 Gbit

MTU : 4096+(headers)
Before: 82 Gbit
After:  95 Gbit

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.
