Message-ID: <8e5b27790805082149y6d9f604ds7feefe2804f3823c@mail.gmail.com> Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 21:49:27 -0700 From: "Paul Marks" <paul@...rks.net> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: When should kfree_skb be used? Hi, I'm trying to make sense of the ipip6_rcv function here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=net/ipv6/sit.c;hb=HEAD#l564 Specifically, why is kfree_skb called when pskb_may_pull(...) returns true, but not called when it returns false? Is there something in the code path which increments the skb's reference count that I'm not noticing? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
