From 0cfad07555312468296ea3bbbcdf99038f58678b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 16:24:44 -0700 Subject: [NETLINK]: Avoid pointer in netlink_run_queue I was looking at Patrick's fix to inet_diag and it occured to me that we're using a pointer argument to return values unnecessarily in netlink_run_queue. Changing it to return the value will allow the compiler to generate better code since the value won't have to be memory-backed. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
