Subject: Re: [PATCH net 1/1] net/sched: fix a qdisc modification with
ambigous command request
Hi Jamal,
There's a typo in the title: ambigous -> ambiguous

We tend to use "static inline" functions only when defining them in headers.
In C files, we drop "inline" and let the compiler decide whether to inline or not.

else if cmd_change()
thus the code block under the qdisc kind comparison can become:
if (cmd_create_or_replace(n) ||
cmd_create_exclusive(n))
goto create_n_graft;
else if (cmd_change(n))
goto create_n_graft2;
(no extra brackets are needed)
