I would use skb_queue_tail() as we already use it in two different places in af_unix.c, like unix_stream_sendmsg() It is hardly a fast path anyway, so lets keep code short. Then, in net-next, if you really want, add a new skb_queue_tail_lock() or similar helper ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
