From 15c2d75f49189e1769c5e8f5f099d03d055c4910 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 00:30:37 +0000 Subject: net: call dev_queue_xmit_nit() after skb_dst_drop() Avoid some atomic ops on dst refcount, calling dev_queue_xmit_nit() after skb_dst_drop() in dev_hard_start_xmit(). When queueing a packet into af_packet socket, we drop dst anyway. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
