Hi Yasuoka-san,

Thanks for pointing this out.

I agree that it is not good to 'break' after kfree_skb() for two reasons:

1. As you mention, the loop should keep going and process other skbs
2. kcov_remote_stop() needs to be called for each skb

I might have used a 'continue' above the invalid_pkt_free label.
But I think your suggestion - using 'continue' inside the switch statement
- is also correct, and seems fine to me.

Please post a v3 when you are ready.
