Subject: dev_kfree_skb{,irq,any}

Message-ID: <409275C5.8060008@gmx.net> (raw)

Hi,

what are the possible implications of calling dev_kfree_skb_irq from
non-interrupt context or calling dev_kfree_skb from interrupt context?

Looking at drivers/net, it seems dev_kfree_skb_irq is often called outside
an interrupt handler.

IIRC, dev_kfree_skb_any is the way to go if a certain routine can be
called both from interrupt context and outside it.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
