From af87ae465abdc070de0dc35d6c6a9e7a8cd82987 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillaume Nault Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 13:12:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: remove useless duplicate session detection in l2tp_netlink There's no point in checking for duplicate sessions at the beginning of l2tp_nl_cmd_session_create(); the ->session_create() callbacks already return -EEXIST when the session already exists. Furthermore, even if l2tp_session_find() returns NULL, a new session might be created right after the test. So relying on ->session_create() to avoid duplicate session is the only sane behaviour.
