Even though there is a static key protecting from overhead from cgroup-bpf skb filtering when there is nothing attached, in many cases it's not enough as registering a filter for one type will ruin the fast path for all others. It's observed in production servers I've looked at but also in laptops, where registration is done during init by systemd or something else. Add a per-socket fast path check guarding from such overhead. This affects both receive and transmit paths of TCP, UDP and other protocols. It showed ~1% tx/s improvement in small payload UDP send benchmarks using a real NIC and in a server environment and the number jumps to 2-3% for preemtible kernels.

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.
