Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: free skb, avoid returns in send_cpu_listeners
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc4~145
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d94a041519f3ab1ac023bf917619cd8c4a7d3c01;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] taskstats: free skb, avoid returns in send_cpu_listeners

Add a missing freeing of skb in the case there are no listeners at all.
Also remove the returning of error values by the function as it is unused
by the sole caller.
