From: Jacob Keller Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2017 22:38:40 +0000 (-0800) Subject: i40e: rework exit flow of i40e_add_fdir_ethtool X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01016da1e58136518252822738fe833c662df916;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git i40e: rework exit flow of i40e_add_fdir_ethtool Refactor the exit flow of the i40e_add_fdir_ethtool function. Move the input_label to the end of the function, removing the dependency on having a non-zero return value. Add a comment explaining why it is ok not to free the fdir data structure, because the structure is now stored in the fdir_filter_list.
