Re: [tor-bugs] #6341 [Tor Relay]: connection_or_flush_from_first_active_circuit() wants refactoring (was: "if (circ != conn->active_circuits)" in connection_or_flush_from_first_active_circuit() is wrong?)

Comment(by arma):

 Apparently no code in that path can change conn->active_circuits, so
 checking whether it's changed makes no sense. That's what this is about.

 Our friendly bug reporter also points out that circ is
 conn->active_circuits in the case of !ewma_enabled, but it's based on
 conn->active_circuit_pqueue in the case of ewma_enabled. Sure seems like
 some of this code didn't get cleaned up when we added the ewma patch.
