[PATCH] Bluetooth: Simplify L2CAP Streaming mode sending

From: Gustavo F. Padovan
Date: Mon Aug 30 2010 - 19:04:37 EST


As we don't have any error control on the Streaming mode, i.e., we don't
need to keep a copy of the skb for later resending we don't need to
call skb_clone() on it.
Then we can go one further here, and dequeue the skb before sending it,
that also means we don't need to look to sk->sk_send_head anymore.

This patch fixes a bug in Streaming mode sending procedure, the call to
skb_clone() was making the system run into OOM condition. I never got
that before 2.6.36, so I'm think that we acctually have regression
there.

Anyway, the patch saves memory and time when sending Streaming mode
data, so it is good to mainline.
