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.

cake_handle_diffserv() tries to linearize mac and network header parts of skb and to make it writable unconditionally. In some cases it leads to full skb reallocation, which reduces throughput and increases CPU load. Some measurements of IPv4 forward + NAPT on MIPS router with 580 MHz single-core CPU was conducted. It appears that on kernel 4.9 skb_try_make_writable() reallocates skb, if skb was allocated in ethernet driver via so-called 'build skb' method from page cache (it was discovered by strange increase of kmalloc-2048 slab at first). Obtain DSCP value via read-only skb_header_pointer() call, and leave linearization only for DSCP bleaching or ECN CE setting. And, as an additional optimisation, skip diffserv parsing entirely if it is not needed by the current configuration.
