The patch titled node-aware skb allocation has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is node-aware-skb-allocation.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: node-aware skb allocation From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Node-aware allocation of skbs for the receive path. Details: - __alloc_skb gets a new node argument and cals the node-aware slab functions with it. - netdev_alloc_skb passed the node number it gets from dev_to_node to it, everyone else passes -1 (any node) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "David S.
