[commits] [batman-adv] master: batman-adv: Fix double call of dev_queue_xmit (1709345)

Repository : ssh://git@open-mesh.org/batman-adv On branch : master commit 17093459a996f7d5c98f10c10d6d84766bce5a15 Author: Sven Eckelmann <sven(a)narfation.org&gt; Date: Sat Jan 28 10:12:39 2017 +0100 batman-adv: Fix double call of dev_queue_xmit The net_xmit_eval has side effects because it is not making sure that e isn't evaluated twice. #define net_xmit_eval(e) ((e) == NET_XMIT_CN ? 0 : (e)) The code requested by David Miller [1] return net_xmit_eval(dev_queue_xmit(skb)); will get transformed into return ((dev_queue_xmit(skb)) == NET_XMIT_CN ? 0 : (dev_queue_xmit(skb))) dev_queue_xmit will therefore be tried again (with an already consumed skb) whenever the return code is not NET_XMIT_CN.
