Hi,
What is the correct way of freeing an skb in the kernel?
I have created a driver through which some packets (skbs) pass. Sometimes
due to certain error conditions i just need to get rid of those skbs.
Presently i am using:
skb_unlink(skb);
dev_kfree_skb(skb);
But this does not seem to work.
Any pointers would be helpful.
ciao,
Amit
