Subject: garp: remove one synchronize_rcu() call
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da37e368763f708d2ae5a81e61ec59372b831cf5;p=linux-beck.git

garp: remove one synchronize_rcu() call

Speedup vlan dismantling in CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP=y cases,
by using a call_rcu() to free the memory instead of waiting with
expensive synchronize_rcu() [ while RTNL is held ]
