Subject: [NET]: Can use __get_cpu_var() instead of per_cpu() in loopback driver.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc3~45^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58f539740b1ccfc5ef4e509ec2efe82621b546e3;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-stable.git

[NET]: Can use __get_cpu_var() instead of per_cpu() in loopback driver.

As BHs are off in loopback_xmit(), preemption cannot occurs, so we can
use __get_cpu_var() instead of per_cpu() (and avoid a
preempt_enable()/preempt_disable() pair)
