From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:20:15 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sched, bpf: let stack handle !IFF_UP devs on bpf_clone_redirect X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=927ab1d764565aec36ace1d017fa14c1e84f2769;p=linux-beck.git sched, bpf: let stack handle !IFF_UP devs on bpf_clone_redirect Similarly as already the case in bpf_redirect()/skb_do_redirect() pair, let the stack deal with devs that are !IFF_UP. dev_forward_skb() as well as dev_queue_xmit() will free the skb and increment drop counter internally in such cases, so we can spare the condition in bpf_clone_redirect().
