Hi Jarek.

We can do that in alloc_skb() and friends and put returned buffers into skb's fraglist and updated reference counters for those pages; and with additional copy of the network headers into skb->head. -- 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
