Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/10] batman-adv: fix kernel-doc for functions holding skb ownership
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 16:27:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805143200.722098-5-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805143200.722098-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Most functions in batman-adv will take the ownership of an skb when they
receive it as argument.  Their NET_RX_DROP return value is only indicating
whether there was direct visible problem while processing it. The caller
must not try to also free the skb when such a negative return code was
received.
