[ Upstream commit 581073f626e387d3e7eed55c48c8495584ead7ba ] trafgen performance considerably sank on hosts with many cores after the blamed commit. packet_read_pending() is very expensive, and calling it in af_packet fast path defeats Daniel intent in commit b013840810c2 ("packet: use percpu mmap tx frame pending refcount") tpacket_destruct_skb() makes room for one packet, we can immediately wakeup a producer, no need to completely drain the tx ring.

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.
