Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] vxlan: insert ipv6 macro

Hi, Jiri

How to explain the following source code? As you mentioned,  are the
#ifdefs in the following source pointless?
As to the previous patch, I will compile and analyze it. But now I am
busy with something else. After I draw a conclusion, I will let you
know.

Thanks for your reply.

 static void vxlan_sock_release(struct vxlan_dev *vxlan)
{
        bool ipv4 = __vxlan_sock_release_prep(vxlan->vn4_sock);
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)
        bool ipv6 = __vxlan_sock_release_prep(vxlan->vn6_sock);
#endif
        synchronize_net();
        if (ipv4) {
                udp_tunnel_sock_release(vxlan->vn4_sock->sock);
                kfree(vxlan->vn4_sock);
        }
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)
        if (ipv6) {
                udp_tunnel_sock_release(vxlan->vn6_sock->sock);
                kfree(vxlan->vn6_sock);
        }
#endif
}
