net: optimize csum_replace2()
When changing one 16bit value by another in IP header, we can adjust the IP checksum by doing a simple operation described in RFC 1624, as reminded by David. csum_partial() is a complex function on x86_64, not really suited for small number of checksummed bytes. I spotted csum_partial() being in the top 20 most consuming functions (more than 1 %) in a GRO workload, which was rather unexpected. The caller was inet_gro_complete() doing a csum_replace2() when building the new IP header for the GRO packet. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
