Subject: generic: drop 616-net_optimize_xfrm_calls.patch
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93294b516e5437980a3562496a5bedec1b3a424f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fzorun.git

generic: drop 616-net_optimize_xfrm_calls.patch

The conditional check introduced by this patch may trigger a NULL pointer
dereference in case the result of dev_net() is NULL.

Since the purpose of this patch is neither sufficiently explained and since
this patch apparently has never been submitted upstream despite it being in
the pending-* patch directory, I propose to drop it without replacement.

If the performance implications of dropping this patch are found to be
significiant, it should be reintroduced with proper description and
benchmark results.
