It implements... I would suggedt that you post these kinds of infrastructure patches when you design this stuff, not after you've had your filesystem depending upon it all of this time. Also, the correct mailing list to get to the networking developers is netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "linux-net" is for users. Finally, I very much doubt you have much chance getting this change in, the infrastructure is implemented in a very ad-hoc fashion and it takes into consideration none of the potential other users of such a thing. And these days we're trying to figure out how to eliminate skbuff and skb_shared_info struct members whereas you're adding 16-bytes of space on 64-bit platforms. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
