Clone is needed since tcp expects to own the skb and frees it unconditionally via __kfree_skb(). What is the best solution for the data corruption bug? To copy the data all the time or implement own allocator to be used in alloc_skb and friends to allocate the head? I think it can be done transparently for the drivers. I can volunteer for this :) The first one is more appropriate for the current bugfix-only stage, but this will result in the whole release being too slow. -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
