Subject: [PATCH V4 6/7] ipvs: API change to avoid rescan of IPv6 exthdr

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:07:17 +0200

Reduce the number of times we scan/skip the IPv6 exthdrs.

This patch contains a lot of API changes.  This is done, to avoid
repeating the scan of finding the IPv6 headers, via ipv6_find_hdr(),
which is called by ip_vs_fill_iph_skb().

Finding the IPv6 headers is done as early as possible, and passed on
as a pointer "struct ip_vs_iphdr *" to the affected functions.

This patch reduce/removes 19 calls to ip_vs_fill_iph_skb().

Notice, I have choosen, not to change the API of function
pointer "(*schedule)" (in struct ip_vs_scheduler) as it can be
used by external schedulers, via {un,}register_ip_vs_scheduler.
Only 4 out of 10 schedulers use info from ip_vs_iphdr*, and when
they do, they are only interested in iph->{s,d}addr.

Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <[email-masked]>

V3:
 - This patch is introduced in V3, to allow easier integration of
   Patricks idea and my RFC patch of caching exthdr info in skb->cb[]
