From 2d7ce2ee1af5c4925ebbc681bb72e660d87faa71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Gross Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2010 23:55:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] datapth: Drop check for impossible condition after skb_gso_segment(). It's possible for skb_gso_segment to return NULL but only if the hardware supports the correct form of segmentation offload but just wants software to verify the offload parameters. However, since we're not hardware and don't support any kind of segmentation offload natively, we can never get in this situation. Therefore drop the check and comment.
