net: avoid unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on RX
After commit 5d4cc87414c5 ("net: reorganize "struct sock" fields"), the sk_tsflags field shares the same cacheline with sk_forward_alloc. The UDP protocol does not acquire the sock lock in the RX path; forward allocations are protected via the receive queue spinlock; additionally udp_recvmsg() calls sock_recv_cmsgs() unconditionally touching sk_tsflags on each packet reception. Due to the above, under high packet rate traffic, when the BH and the user-space process run on different CPUs, UDP packet reception experiences a cache miss while accessing sk_tsflags. The receive path doesn't strictly need to access the problematic field; change sock_set_timestamping() to maintain the relevant information in a newly allocated sk_flags bit, so that sock_recv_cmsgs() can take decisions accessing the latter field only. With this patch applied, on an AMD epic server with i40e NICs, I measured a 10% performance improvement for small packets UDP flood performance tests - possibly a larger delta could be observed with more recent H/W.
