Subject: [NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~1277^2~32
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3db05fea51cdb162cfa8f69e9cfb9e228919d2a9;p=linux-2.6

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.
