[PATCH] batman-adv: batman-adv: handle tvlv unicast send errors
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 04:40:06 EST
In batadv_tvlv_unicast_send(), the return value of
batadv_send_skb_to_orig() is ignored. This could silently
drop send failures, making it difficult to detect connectivity
issues.
Add error checking for batadv_send_skb_to_orig() and log failures
via batadv_dbg() to improve error visibility.
Fixes: 1ad5bcb2a032 ("batman-adv: Consume skb in batadv_send_skb_to_orig")
