From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> While chasing tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() kasan issue, I found that we could avoid reading sacked field of skb that we wont send, possibly removing one cache line miss. Very minor change in slow path, but why not ? ;) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> --- net/ipv4/tcp_output.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
