    powerpc: optimise csum_partial() call when len is constant · 7e393220
    Christophe Leroy authored
    csum_partial is often called for small fixed length packets
    for which it is suboptimal to use the generic csum_partial()
    function.
    
    For instance, in my configuration, I got:
    * One place calling it with constant len 4
    * Seven places calling it with constant len 8
    * Three places calling it with constant len 14
    * One place calling it with constant len 20
    * One place calling it with constant len 24
    * One place calling it with constant len 32
    
    This patch renames csum_partial() to __csum_partial() and
    implements csum_partial() as a wrapper inline function which
    * uses csum_add() for small 16bits multiple constant length
    * uses ip_fast_csum() for other 32bits multiple constant
    * uses __csum_partial() in all other cases
