Subject: genetlink: Optimize genl_register_family()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93860b08e31a3202b6e67e386811545e719a0165;p=linux-beck.git

genetlink: Optimize genl_register_family()

genl_register_family() doesn't need to call genl_family_find_byid
when GENL_ID_GENERATE is passed during register.

Patch on net-next-2.6, compile and reboot testing only.
