Subject: [PATCH] net: add destructor for skb data.
Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2008 21:56:05 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200804052156.05318.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)

If we want to notify something when an skb is truly finished (such as
for tun vringfd support), we need a destructor on the data.  We don't
need to add other fields, since we can just allocate extra room at the
end.

(I wonder if we could *reduce* the shinfo allocation where no frags are needed?)
