+Subject: net: speed up skb_rbtree_purge()
+
+From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
+
+commit 7c90584c66cc4b033a3b684b0e0950f79e7b7166 upstream.
+
+As measured in my prior patch ("sch_netem: faster rb tree removal"),
+rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() is nice looking but much slower
+than using rb_next() directly, except when tree is small enough
+to fit in CPU caches (then the cost is the same)
+
+Also note that there is not even an increase of text size :
+$ size net/core/skbuff.o.before net/core/skbuff.o
+   text           data     bss     dec     hex filename
+  40711           1298       0   42009    a419 net/core/skbuff.o.before
+  40711           1298       0   42009    a419 net/core/skbuff.o
