From 21c85974aab7211619d39364990427af543c88ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xie He Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2021 14:41:24 -0800 Subject: net/packet: Improve the comment about LL header visibility criteria The "dev_has_header" function, recently added in commit d549699048b4 ("net/packet: fix packet receive on L3 devices without visible hard header"), is more accurate as criteria for determining whether a device exposes the LL header to upper layers, because in addition to dev->header_ops, it also checks for dev->header_ops->create. When transmitting an skb on a device, dev_hard_header can be called to generate an LL header. dev_hard_header will only generate a header if dev->header_ops->create is present.
