Subject: [net-next] openvswitch: Simplify do_execute_actions().
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 21:24:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1485408261-31999-1-git-send-email-azhou@ovn.org> (raw)

do_execute_actions() implements a worthwhile optimization: in case
an output action is the last action in an action list, skb_clone()
can be avoided by outputing the current skb. However, the
implementation is more complicated than necessary.  This patch
simplify this logic.
