[PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: clean up the skb before passing it back

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We need to clean up the skb before we can copy it, this
is required for proper operation since the socket it is
still attached to could potentially live in a different
network namespace or so.

I stole this code from veth, maybe there should be a function somewhere?
