From 738967b8bf57e582db1a23ce773c36fefd4b7d37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Zhou Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 00:35:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: refactor do_output() to move NULL check out of fast path skb_clone() NULL check is implemented in do_output(), as past of the common (fast) path. Refactoring so that NULL check is done in the slow path, immediately after skb_clone() is called. Besides optimization, this change also improves code readability by making the skb_clone() NULL check consistent within OVS datapath module.
