Subject: [PATCH] rps_dev_flow_table_release(): no need to delay vfree()
Date: Mon, 6 May 2013 03:05:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130506020555.GL25399@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130506020346.GK25399@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>

The same story as with fib_trie patch - vfree() from RCU callbacks
is legitimate now.
