commit 45c644796fe2aa834918b15d7b41e57ccf86c1b3 Author: Jamal Hadi Salim Date: Fri Jun 4 06:16:30 2010 -0400 net: Remove unnecessary net action assertion The extra assertion to allow packet munging only when there are no other ptypes listening which may have worked around an old bug is unnecessary. It is sufficient to check if the skb is cloned before trampling on it. Thanks to Herbert Xu for being persistent and patient in getting this across. [Note that cloning checks and assertions are the general rule used by tc actions (documentation/networking/tc-actions-env-rules.txt)].
