Christian, how does placement of skb allocation point make a difference? Anyway skb that carry data frame will be handed to the mac and replaced with new one. That is, this patch does not eliminate possibility of control frame loss due to insufficient memory. Maybe we'd better have separate reusable skb for control frames which is never handed out from the driver? -- Max -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
