commit e84313008c33d0366333e1caa34b4b5ee6a449ba Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sun Mar 17 10:50:50 2019 +0100
batman-adv: Adjust name for batadv_dat_send_data
The send functions in batman-adv are expected to consume the skb when either the data is queued up for the underlying driver or when some precondition failed. batadv_dat_send_data didn't do this and instead created a copy of the skb, modified it and queued the copy up for transmission. The caller has to take care that the skb is handled correctly (for example free'd) when batadv_dat_send_data returns.
This unclear behavior already lead to memory leaks in the recent past. Renaming the function to batadv_dat_forward_data should make it easier to identify that the data is forwarded but the skb is not actually send+consumed.
