From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Fan Du Subject: [PATCHv5 net-next 1/6] skbuff: Introduce skb_to_sgvec_nomark to map skb without mark new end Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 09:54:23 +0800 Message-ID: <1390010068-15715-2-git-send-email-fan.du@windriver.com> References: <1390010068-15715-1-git-send-email-fan.du@windriver.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Cc: , To: Return-path: Received: from mail1.windriver.com ([147.11.146.13]:33191 "EHLO mail1.windriver.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752912AbaARByf (ORCPT ); Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:54:35 -0500 In-Reply-To: <1390010068-15715-1-git-send-email-fan.du@windriver.com> Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: As compared with skb_to_sgvec, skb_to_sgvec_nomark only map skb to given sglist without mark the sg which contain last skb data as the end. So the caller can mannipulate sg list as will when padding new data after the first call without calling sg_unmark_end to expend sg list.
