Hi Evgeniy, David,

Well! I'm lost :)

How can we forward a pointer from skb allocation to skb destructor
without adding a kind of destructor argument in sk_buff struct?

Thanks in advance,
Johann

You instead want to make it a feature flag - that's fine I think, but we need to make a note of that in the Kconfig file (that enabling PACKET_MMAP increases all skbs by the size of a long).  I'd still rather prefer using the fragments instead though, because it seems like a reasonable solution that has 0 impact on any other code.
