[ Upstream commit a6211caa634da39d861a47437ffcda8b38ef421b ] Commit adb03115f459 ("net: get rid of an signed integer overflow in ip_idents_reserve()") used atomic_cmpxchg to replace "atomic_add_return" inside the function "ip_idents_reserve". The reason was to avoid UBSAN warning. However, this change has caused performance degrade and in GCC-8, fno-strict-overflow is now mapped to -fwrapv -fwrapv-pointer and signed integer overflow is now undefined by default at all optimization levels[1]. Moreover, it was a bug in UBSAN vs -fwrapv /-fno-strict-overflow, so Let's revert it safely.

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.
