Subject: [RFC 2/5] net:  Add pkt-type PACKET_INVALID
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 17:09:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308355783-22407-3-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1308355783-22407-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com>

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

This will be used for errored frames received from NICs.
It re-uses the un-used PACKET_FASTROUTE value, but leaves that
define in just in case some user-space app requires it.
