Define pktgen_finalize_skb() helper, used both in ipv4 and ipv6 Results using skbs with one frag : Before patch : Result: OK: 608980458(c608978520+d1938) nsec, 1000000000 (100byte,1frags) 1642088pps 1313Mb/sec (1313670400bps) errors: 0 After patch : Result: OK: 345285014(c345283891+d1123) nsec, 1000000000 (100byte,1frags) 2896158pps 2316Mb/sec (2316926400bps) errors: 0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
