Good evening to everybody. In recent kernels (>=2.6.24) netlink_kernel_create() callback function has the following signature: (void *) function(struct sk_buff* skb); while before it was (void *) function(struct sock *skctrl, int len) In the latter, i used to call skb_dequeue, obtain the skb and then, once data was extracted, I used to kfree_skb(skb); where skb is a sk_buff* obtained by skb_dequeue(); Now (with the (void *) function(struct sk_buff* skb) callback) I get data from skb but DO NOT HAVE TO kfree_skb() it... Is it true? Is it automatically freed by the kernel once the callback returns? Thanks in advance.
