X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0~655 X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=60ba76ea15b6758904b37c4c030e3f133c503c69;p=sliver-openvswitch.git datapath: Drop synchronize_rcu() in internal dev destroy. unregister_netdevice() contains a call to synchronize_rcu(), so there is no need to directly call it ourselves immediately beforehand. We were relying on the call during unregistration anyways to stop packets from being transmited on the device, so our version was both misleading and had a performance penalty.
