The current source pushes skb into dev->done queue by calling
skb_queue_tail() and then pop it by calling skb_dequeue() to branch to
rx_cleanup state for freeing urb/skb in usbnet_bh(). It takes extra CPU
load, 2.21% (skb_queue_tail) as follows.

-   11.58%     0.26%  swapper          [k] usbnet_bh
   - 11.32% usbnet_bh
      - 6.43% skb_dequeue
           6.34% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
      - 2.21% skb_queue_tail
           2.19% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
      - 1.68% consume_skb
         - 0.97% kfree_skbmem
              0.80% kmem_cache_free
           0.53% skb_release_data

To reduce the extra CPU load use return values jumping to rx_cleanup
state directly to free them instead of calling skb_queue_tail() and
skb_dequeue() for push/pop respectively.

-    7.87%     0.25%  swapper          [k] usbnet_bh
   - 7.62% usbnet_bh
      - 4.81% skb_dequeue
           4.74% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
      - 1.75% consume_skb
         - 0.98% kfree_skbmem
              0.78% kmem_cache_free
           0.58% skb_release_data
        0.53% smsc95xx_rx_fixup

This looks like net-next material.

We have already submitted the networking pull request to Linus
for v6.2 and therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features,
code refactoring and optimizations. We are currently accepting
bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after Jan 2nd, including the
expected 'net-next' tag into the subject line.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

You can avoid this additional label (which is a little confusing inside
a switch) factoring out a usb_free_skb(skb) helper and calling it here
and under the rx_cleanup case.

Cheers,

Thank you for the information and feedback, it will be in v4 when 
net-next reopens.
