Subject: [PATCH 2/3] skb: Drop "fastpath" variable for skb_cloned check in pskb_expand_head
Date: Fri, 04 May 2012 17:26:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120505002651.21292.19680.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120505001059.21292.31647.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com>

Since there is now only one spot that actually uses "fastpath" there isn't
much point in carrying it.  Instead we can just use a check for skb_cloned
to verify if we can perform the fast-path free for the head or not.
