skb_dst_set_noref (9) Linux Manual Page
skb_dst_set_noref – sets skb dst, hopefully, without taking reference
Synopsis
void skb_dst_set_noref(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst);Arguments
skb
-
- buffer
dst
- dst entry
Description
Sets skb dst, assuming a reference was not taken on dst. If dst entry is cached, we do not take reference and dst_release will be avoided by refdst_drop. If dst entry is not cached, we take reference, so that last dst_release can destroy the dst immediately.
