Hi,
I have this hard_start_xmit code (simplified):
int start_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, netdevice_t * dev)
{
struct mydevice *priv = acx_netdev_priv(dev);
if (!skb) goto end;
if (!priv) goto end;
/* there is no one to talk to */
if (priv->status != ACX_STATUS_4_ASSOCIATED) {
printk("start_xmit() called but not associated yet\n");
/* silently drop the packet, since we're not connected yet */
dev_kfree_skb(skb);
priv->stats.tx_errors++;
goto end;
}
...
}
Should I use dev_kfree_skb(skb) here or dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb)?
(IIRC hard_start_xmit is in atomic context, no?)
There is also a dev_kfree_skb_any(skb). What are the rules?
