Edward Cree 88eb1944e1 net: core: propagate SKB lists through packet_type lookup
__netif_receive_skb_core() does a depressingly large amount of per-packet
 work that can't easily be listified, because the another_round looping
 makes it nontrivial to slice up into smaller functions.
Fortunately, most of that work disappears in the fast path:
 * Hardware devices generally don't have an rx_handler
 * Unless you're tcpdumping or something, there is usually only one ptype
 * VLAN processing comes before the protocol ptype lookup, so doesn't force
   a pt_prev deliver
 so normally, __netif_receive_skb_core() will run straight through and pass
 back the one ptype found in ptype_base[hash of skb->protocol].

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
