sch_direct_xmit() uses qdisc_qlen as a return value but all call sites of the routine only check if it is zero or not. Simplify the logic so that we don't need to return an actual queue length value. This introduces a case now where sch_direct_xmit would have returned a qlen of zero but now it returns true. However in this case all call sites of sch_direct_xmit will implement a dequeue() and get a null skb and abort. This trades tracking qlen in the hotpath for an extra dequeue operation. Overall this seems to be good for performance. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
