We observed that TCP-pacing was falling back to the TCP-layer pacing instead of utilizing sch_fq for the pacing. This causes significant CPU-usage due to the hrtimer running on a per-TCP-connection basis. The issue is that mpls_xmit() calls skb_orphan() and thus sets skb->sk to NULL. Which implies that many of the goodies of TCP won't work. Pacing falls back to TCP-layer pacing. TCP Small Queues does not work, ... It is safe to remove this call to skb_orphan() in mpls_xmit() as there really is not reason for it to be there. It appears that this call to skb_orphan comes from the very initial implementation of MPLS.
