Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/10] batman-adv: remove negative returns for batadv_send_skb_unicast
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 16:27:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805143200.722098-11-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805143200.722098-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
The kernel documentation for batadv_send_skb_unicast() states that only the
return values NET_XMIT_DROP and NET_XMIT_SUCCESS are valid. Functions like
batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request() are only checking if the return is
not NET_XMIT_DROP to check if send was successful or not. Negative values
were therefore also handled as success.
Similar functions are not returning the batadv_send_skb_to_orig() return
value directly but are checking if it is a direct success and only then
marking the return as such. This must also be adopted for
batadv_send_skb_unicast().
The callers of this function are mostly not affected. Only packet counting
in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_request() will now work as expected in
case of a negative return value from batadv_send_skb_to_orig().
