ipip: enable lockless xmits
IPIP tunnels can benefit from lockless xmits, using NETIF_F_LLTX
Bench on a 16 cpus machine (dual E5540 cpus), 16 threads sending
10000000 UDP frames via one ipip tunnel (size:200 bytes per frame)
Before patch :
real 2m53.321s
user 0m10.277s
sys 46m0.597s
After patch:
real 0m32.063s
user 0m9.237s
sys 8m16.255s
Last problem to solve is the contention on dst :
16118.00 28.3% __ip_route_output_key vmlinux
6135.00 10.8% dst_release vmlinux
3220.00 5.6% ip_finish_output vmlinux
2149.00 3.8% ip_route_output_flow vmlinux
1575.00 2.8% ip_append_data vmlinux
1481.00 2.6% ip_push_pending_frames vmlinux
1349.00 2.4% __xfrm_lookup vmlinux
1216.00 2.1% csum_partial_copy_generic vmlinux
1208.00 2.1% udp_sendmsg vmlinux
