Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 02/11] net: tunnel: convert iptunnel_xmit to noref
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 08:04:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127070452.6581-3-mmietus97@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127070452.6581-1-mmietus97@yahoo.com>
iptunnel_xmit assumes that a reference was taken on the dst passed to it,
and uses that reference.
This forces callers to reference the dst, preventing noref optimizations.
Convert iptunnel_xmit to be noref and drop the requirement that a ref be
taken on the dst.
