From 70d4bf6d467a330ccc947df9b2608e329d9e7708 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 06:45:56 +0000 Subject: drop_monitor: convert some kfree_skb call sites to consume_skb Convert a few calls from kfree_skb to consume_skb Noticed while I was working on dropwatch that I was detecting lots of internal skb drops in several places. While some are legitimate, several were not, freeing skbs that were at the end of their life, rather than being discarded due to an error. This patch converts those calls sites from using kfree_skb to consume_skb, which quiets the in-kernel drop_monitor code from detecting them as drops.
