Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/5] net: change sk_filter_trim_cap() to return a drop_reason by value
Date: Thu,  9 Apr 2026 14:56:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409145625.2306224-6-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409145625.2306224-1-edumazet@google.com>

Current return value can be replaced with the drop_reason,
reducing kernel bloat:
