Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/15] batman-adv: split fragment forwarding into lookup and forward
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 10:15:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114091556.3336038-10-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114091556.3336038-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
batadv_frag_skb_fwd() consumed the skb only when it returned true, and
passed the receive result back through an out-parameter that was only
valid in that case.
To ensure that the forwarding functions either borrow or consume the skb,
split it into:
* batadv_frag_fwd_neigh_get(): borrows the skb and returns the next-hop
(with a reference) when the merged packet would exceed its MTU
* batadv_frag_skb_fwd(): always consumes the skb and returns
NET_RX_SUCCESS or NET_RX_DROP (instead of using the out-parameter
"rx_result")
