Hi all,<br>
<br>
When a protocol like TCP or UDP creates an sk_buff and passes it down<br>
to the layer 3 and layer 2 protocol functions, which module has<br>
ownership of the buffer as it gets passed down? Is it the<br>
responsibility of the caller, or the callee to free the sk_buff? Are<br>
there any exceptions?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
