CONSUME_SKB(9)							 Linux Networking						    CONSUME_SKB(9)

NAME

       consume_skb - free an skbuff

SYNOPSIS

       void consume_skb(struct sk_buff * skb);

ARGUMENTS

       skb
	   buffer to free

DESCRIPTION

       Drop a ref to the buffer and free it if the usage count has hit zero Functions identically to kfree_skb, but kfree_skb assumes that the
       frame is being dropped after a failure and notes that

MEMBERS

       hw
	   The hardware the algorithm is invoked for.

       sband
	   The band this frame is being transmitted on.

       bss_conf
	   the current BSS configuration

       skb
	   the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it needs to be filled in

       reported_rate
	   The rate control algorithm can fill this in to indicate which rate should be reported to userspace as the current rate and used for
	   rate calculations in the mesh network.

       rts
	   whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than the RTS threshold

       short_preamble
	   whether mac80211 will request short-preamble transmission if the selected rate supports it

       max_rate_idx
	   user-requested maximum (legacy) rate (deprecated; this will be removed once drivers get updated to use rate_idx_mask)

       rate_idx_mask
	   user-requested (legacy) rate mask

       rate_idx_mcs_mask
	   user-requested MCS rate mask (NULL if not in use)

       bss
	   whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode
