TCP uses per cpu 'sockets' to send some packets : - RST packets ( tcp_v4_send_reset()) ) - ACK packets for SYN_RECV and TIMEWAIT sockets By setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE flag, we tell sock_wfree() to not call sk_write_space() since these internal sockets do not care. This gives a small performance improvement, merely by allowing cpu to properly predict the sock_wfree() conditional branch, and avoiding one atomic operation.
