Message-Id: <1420029221-4296-1-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de> Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2014 13:33:41 +0100 From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: skbuff: don't zero tc members when freeing skb Not needed, only four cases: - kfree_skb (or one of its aliases). Don't need to zero, memory will be freed. - kfree_skb_partial and head was stolen: memory will be freed. - skb_morph: The skb header fields (including tc ones) will be copied over from the 'to-be-morphed' skb right after skb_release_head_state returns. - skb_segment: Same as before, all the skb header fields are copied over from the original skb right away.
