The commit 6b229cf77d ("udp: add batching to udp_rmem_release()")
reduced greatly the cacheline contention between the BH and the US
reader batching the rmem updates in most scenarios.
Such optimization is explicitly avoided if the US reader is faster
then BH processing.
My fault, I initially suggested this kind of behavior due to concerns
of possible regressions with small sk_rcvbuf values. Tests showed
such concerns are misplaced, so this commit relaxes the condition
for rmem bulk updates, obtaining small but measurable performance
gain in the scenario described above.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
