Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 11/14] ip6_gre: make prepare_ip6gre_xmit_other() void
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:39:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930183910.3151873-12-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930183910.3151873-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>
prepare_ip6gre_xmit_other() copies the flow template of the tunnel and
picks up its encapsulation limit, DS field and mark. Unlike its IPv6
sibling, which fails when the packet's tunnel encapsulation limit option
is 0 and so forbids encapsulating it again, it has nothing to fail on:
its only return statement is "return 0", and it has been that way since
commit 41337f52b967 ("ip6_gre: set DSCP for non-IP") added the function.
Its caller still checks the result and bails out on a branch that never
runs.
Make it void and drop the check, the way prepare_ip6gre_xmit_ipv4() is
already called. The next two patches give every failing branch of the
transmit path a drop reason, and this one would otherwise get a reason
it can never report.
