When the receiver process and the BH runs on different cores, udp_rmem_release() experience a cache miss while accessing sk_rcvbuf, as the latter shares the same cacheline with sk_forward_alloc, written by the BH. With this patch, UDP tracks the rcvbuf value and its update via custom SOL_SOCKET socket options, and copies the forward memory threshold value used by udp_rmem_release() in a different cacheline, already accessed by the above function and uncontended. Since the UDP socket init operation grown a bit, factor out the common code between v4 and v6 in a shared helper. Overall the above give a 10% peek throughput increase under UDP flood.

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.
