Subject: tcp: tcp_make_synack() consumes dst parameter
X-Git-Tag: v3.6-rc1~125^2~620
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4aea39c11c610e411768649fdc04777903ebfe07;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fkernel-adaptation-pc.git

tcp: tcp_make_synack() consumes dst parameter

tcp_make_synack() clones the dst, and callers release it.

We can avoid two atomic operations per SYNACK if tcp_make_synack()
consumes dst instead of cloning it.
