This is a lot of spaghetti. Just write it like this:
if (adapter->tx_ring.used >= NUM_TCB)
goto drop;
if (adapter->flags & FMP_ADAPTER_FAIL_SEND_MASK)
goto drop;
if (!netif_carrier_ok(netdev))
goto drop;
status = send_packet(skb, adapter);
if (status)
goto drop;
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
drop:
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
adapter->net_stats.tx_dropped++;
/* We return success deliberately to make the netif layer happy */
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
In the original code the success path was if condition false, then if
condition true, then follow a goto then return. In the new code it is
straight line path to success with no nested if else statements.
