[PATCH 4.2 23/30] net: revert "net_sched: move tp->root allocation into fw_init()"

Show all headers | View raw

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit d8aecb10115497f6cdf841df8c88ebb3ba25fa28 ]

fw filter uses tp->root==NULL to check if it is the old method,
so it doesn't need allocation at all in this case. This patch
reverts the offending commit and adds some comments for old
method to make it obvious.

Fixes: 33f8b9ecdb15 ("net_sched: move tp->root allocation into fw_init()")
