Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/11] UDP/IPv6 refactoring

Refactor UDP/IPv6 and especially udpv6_sendmsg() paths. The end result looks
cleaner than it was before and the series also removes a bunch of instructions
and other overhead from the hot path positively affecting performance.

It was a part of a larger series, there were some perf numbers for it, see
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1648981570.git.asml.silence@gmail.com/

Pavel Begunkov (11):
  ipv6: optimise ipcm6 cookie init
  udp/ipv6: refactor udpv6_sendmsg udplite checks
  udp/ipv6: move pending section of udpv6_sendmsg
  udp/ipv6: prioritise the ip6 path over ip4 checks
  udp/ipv6: optimise udpv6_sendmsg() daddr checks
  udp/ipv6: optimise out daddr reassignment
  udp/ipv6: clean up udpv6_sendmsg's saddr init
  ipv6: partially inline fl6_update_dst()
  ipv6: refactor opts push in __ip6_make_skb()
  ipv6: improve opt-less __ip6_make_skb()
  ipv6: clean up ip6_setup_cork
