Subject: [PATCH 1/1] make network DMA usable for non-tcp drivers
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2007 10:30:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070608143053.GC10489@coraid.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070605102427.26dd7fac.randy.dunlap@oracle.com>
Here is a patch against the netdev-2.6 git tree that makes the net DMA
feature usable for drivers like the ATA over Ethernet block driver,
which can use dma_skb_copy_datagram_iovec when receiving data from the
network.
The change was suggested on kernelnewbies.
