E.g.: peer->sock->send(peer, skb);
In a case where
- only 2 implementations exist
- no other implementation is likely to be added in the future
- both implementations are part of the same module
I don't think indirect calls are beneficial (especially after the
meltdown/etc mitigations, see for example 4f24ed77dec9 ("udp: use
indirect call wrappers for GRO socket lookup"), 0e219ae48c3b ("net:
use indirect calls helpers for L3 handler hooks"), and many others
similar patches).
