From cf9d01405925e3f8144c99d7bf7b184449794066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:35:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: devmap: remove unnecessary value size check In the devmap alloc map logic we check to ensure that the sizeof the values are not greater than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. But, in the dev map case we ensure the value size is 4bytes earlier in the function because all values should be netdev ifindex values. The second check is harmless but is not needed so remove it.
