From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> The caller assumes that < 0 means that skb was stolen (or free'd). All other return values continue skb processing. nf_hook_slow returns 3 different return value types: A) a (negative) errno value: the skb was dropped (NF_DROP, e.g. by iptables '-j DROP' rule). B) 0. The skb was stolen by the hook or queued to userspace. C) 1. all hooks returned NF_ACCEPT so the caller should invoke the okfn so packet processing can continue. nft ingress facility currently doesn't have the 'okfn' that the NF_HOOK() macros use; there is no nfqueue support either. So 1 means that nf_hook_ingress() caller should go on processing the skb. In order to allow use of NF_STOLEN from ingress we need to translate this to an errno number, else we'd crash because we continue with already-free'd (or about to be free-d) skb. The errno value isn't checked, its just important that its less than 0, so return -1.
