- * this function. The function can be called from an interrupt.
- *
- * A negative errno code is returned on a failure. A success does not

- * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- * I notice this method can also return errors from the queue disciplines,
- * including NET_XMIT_DROP, which is a positive value. So, errors can also
- * be positive.
- *
- * Regardless of the return value, the skb is consumed, so it is currently
- * difficult to retry a send to this method. (You can bump the ref count
- * before sending to hold a reference for retry if you are careful.)
- *
- * When calling this method, interrupts MUST be enabled. This is because
- * the BH enable code must have IRQs enabled so that it will not deadlock.
