Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 3/3] ipv4: Add __must_check to nexthop removal functions
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 10:56:06 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507075606.322405-4-cratiu@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507075606.322405-1-cratiu@nvidia.com>
These functions return a signal whether FIB flushing is required which
must not be ignored. Use the compiler to help with enforcing this
requirement in the future.
