net: sk_buff rbnode reorg
skb->rbnode shares space with skb->next, skb->prev and skb->tstamp Current uses (TCP receive ofo queue and netem) need to save/restore tstamp, while skb->dev is either NULL (TCP) or a constant for a given queue (netem). Since we plan using an RB tree for TCP retransmit queue to speedup SACK processing with large BDP, this patch exchanges skb->dev and skb->tstamp. This saves some overhead in both TCP and netem. v2: removes the swtstamp field from struct tcp_skb_cb Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Cc: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Cc: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
