[PATCH 5.15/6.1/6.6 1/2] net: ipv6: Make udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() void
From: Alexander Martyniuk
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 12:54:10 EST
From: Petr Machata <petrm@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6a7d88ca15f73c5c570c372238f71d63da1fda55 upstream.
The function always returns zero, thus the return value does not carry any
signal. Just make it void.
Most callers already ignore the return value. However:
- Refold arguments of the call from sctp_v6_xmit() so that they fit into
the 80-column limit.
- tipc_udp_xmit() initializes err from the return value, but that should
already be always zero at that point. So there's no practical change, but
elision of the assignment prompts a couple more tweaks to clean up the
function.
