openvswitch: do not propagate headroom updates to internal port
After commit 3a927bc7cf9d ("ovs: propagate per dp max headroom to
all vports") the need_headroom for the internal vport is updated
accordingly to the max needed headroom in its datapath.
That avoids the pskb_expand_head() costs when sending/forwarding
packets towards tunnel devices, at least for some scenarios.
We still require such copy when using the ovs-preferred configuration
for vxlan tunnels:
br_int
/ \
tap vxlan
(remote_ip:X)
br_phy
\
NIC
where the route towards the IP 'X' is via 'br_phy'.
When forwarding traffic from the tap towards the vxlan device, we
will call pskb_expand_head() in vxlan_build_skb() because
br-phy->needed_headroom is equal to tun->needed_headroom.
With this change we avoid updating the internal vport needed_headroom,
so that in the above scenario no head copy is needed, giving 5%
performance improvement in UDP throughput test.
As a trade-off, packets sent from the internal port towards a tunnel
device will now experience the head copy overhead. The rationale is
that the latter use-case is less relevant performance-wise.
