Subject: question about drivers/net/ethernet/nxp/lpc_eth.c
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:01:28 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1308131658460.2263@hadrien> (raw)
I wonder why drivers/net/ethernet/nxp/lpc_eth.c uses dev_alloc_skb in the
function __lpc_handle_recv, rather than netdev_alloc_skb? The difference
seems to be only that with dev_alloc_skb, the dev field of the skb is
initialized to NULL, rather than to a net_device, but this function seems
to have a net_device value available, so I wonder why it is not used?
thanks,
julia
