Subject: net: avoid quadratic behavior in netdev_wait_allrefs_any()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=86213f80da1b1d007721cc22e04b5f5d0da33127;p=linux.git

net: avoid quadratic behavior in netdev_wait_allrefs_any()

If the list of devices has N elements, netdev_wait_allrefs_any()
is called N times, and linkwatch_forget_dev() is called N*(N-1)/2 times.

Fix this by calling linkwatch_forget_dev() only once per device.
