Use 'skb_queue_purge()' instead of re-implementing it.
Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr --- BTW, I don't really see the need of 'aggr_list_lock'. I think that the code could be refactored to drop 'aggr_list_lock' and use the already existing 'aggr_list.lock'. This would require to use the lock-free __skb_... variants when working on 'aggr_list'.
As far as I understand, the use of 'aggr_list' and 'aggr_list_lock' is limited to bat_v_ogm.c'. So the impact would be limited. This would avoid a useless locking that never fails, so the performance gain should be really limited.
So, I'm not sure this would be more readable and/or future proof, so I just note it here to open the discussion.
If interested, I have a (compiled tested only) patch that implements this change. --- net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-)
