Thank you for your comment, Simon.

Yes, if it handles packets correctly in nci_{rsp,ntf,rx_data}_packet(),
it should not reach invalid_pkt_free and it should continue to work in
the for statement. Sorry, it is my mistake and need to fix it.

BTW, in the current implementation, if the payload is zero, it will free
the skb and exit the for statement. I wonder it is intended.

When the packet is invalid, it should be discarded but it should not
exit the for statement by break. Instead, the skb should just free and
it should handle the subsequent packet by continue. If yes, then it
may be like below,

for (; (skb = skb_dequeue(&ndev->rx_q)); kcov_remote_stop()) {
kcov_remote_start_common(skb_get_kcov_handle(skb));

/* Send copy to sniffer */
nfc_send_to_raw_sock(ndev->nfc_dev, skb,
RAW_PAYLOAD_NCI, NFC_DIRECTION_RX);

if (!skb->len)
goto invalid_pkt_free;

/* Process frame */
switch (nci_mt(skb->data)) {
case NCI_MT_RSP_PKT:
if (!nci_valid_size(skb, NCI_CTRL_HDR_SIZE))
goto invalid_pkt_free;
nci_rsp_packet(ndev, skb);
continue; <<<---

case NCI_MT_NTF_PKT:
if (!nci_valid_size(skb, NCI_CTRL_HDR_SIZE))
goto invalid_pkt_free;
nci_ntf_packet(ndev, skb);
continue; <<<---

case NCI_MT_DATA_PKT:
if (!nci_valid_size(skb, NCI_DATA_HDR_SIZE))
goto invalid_pkt_free;
nci_rx_data_packet(ndev, skb);
continue; <<<---

default:
pr_err("unknown MT 0x%x\n", nci_mt(skb->data));
goto invalid_pkt_free;
}
invalid_pkt_free:
kfree_skb(skb);
}

Could I hear your opinion?
