Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/8] skb: report completion status for zero copy skbs
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:49:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0dc176ed796ff5ac7164b6c18cc75d64c2a2317e.1351524501.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1351524501.git.mst@redhat.com>
Even if skb is marked for zero copy, net core might still decide
to copy it later which is somewhat slower than a copy in user context:
besides copying the data we need to pin/unpin the pages.
Add a parameter reporting such cases through zero copy callback:
if this happens a lot, device can take this into account
and switch to copying in user context.
This patch updates all users but ignores the passed value for now:
it will be used by follow-up patches.
