[PATCH 6.12 1/2] net: ipv6: Make udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() void

From: Alexander Martyniuk <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-25 08:25:14
Also in: linux-sctp, lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], sctp protocol, the rest, tipc network layer · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Marcelo Ricardo Leitner, Xin Long, Linus Torvalds, Jon Maloy

From: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com>

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.
