Hello Jarno,
Yes it seems that the following commit should be included in 3.2.
commit dcc0fb782b3a6e2abfeaaeb45dd88ed09596be0f
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Jul 20 09:23:20 2012 +0000
skbuff: export skb_copy_ubufs
It applies cleanly on top of 3.2.58. However, the skb_orphan_frags inline
function
is not in include/linux/skbuff.h of kernel 3.2.58, but it is available in the
debian linux-headers-3.2.0-4-amd64 package. It seems like the following commit
has been backported to the debian 3.2 kernel but not to mainline 3.2.x.
commit a353e0ce0fd42d8859260666d1e9b10f2abd4698
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Jul 20 09:23:07 2012 +0000
skbuff: add an api to orphan frags
Probably these need to be included together.
Best regards,
Emil Goode
