net: af_packet: remove last_kactive_blk_num field

Browse source

kactive_blk_num (K) is only incremented on block close.
In timer callback prb_retire_rx_blk_timer_expired, except delete_blk_timer
is true, last_kactive_blk_num (L) is set to match kactive_blk_num (K) in
all cases. L is also set to match K in prb_open_block.
The only case K not equal to L is when scheduled by tpacket_rcv
and K is just incremented on block close but no new block could be opened,
so that it does not call prb_open_block in prb_dispatch_next_block.
This patch modifies the prb_retire_rx_blk_timer_expired function by simply
removing the check for L == K. This patch just provides another checkpoint
to thaw the might-be-frozen block in any case. It doesn't have any effect
because __packet_lookup_frame_in_block() has the same logic and does it
again without this patch when detecting the ring is frozen. The patch only
advances checking the status of the ring.
