# skb\_dst\_set\_noref(9)

sets skb dst, hopefully, without taking reference

## NAME

skb\_dst\_set\_noref - sets skb dst, hopefully, without taking reference

## SYNOPSIS

**void skb\_dst\_set\_noref(struct sk\_buff \*** *skb***, struct dst\_entry \*** *dst***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*skb*

buffer

*dst*

dst entry

## DESCRIPTION

Sets skb dst, assuming a reference was not taken on dst. If dst entry is cached, we do not take reference and dst\_release will be avoided by refdst\_drop. If dst entry is not cached, we take reference, so that last dst\_release can destroy the dst immediately.
