It could only be legal to move things into ->cb[] if they are only referenced before the protocols get their hands on it. It certainly looks to be the case for tc_*, although HIPPI I am less sure of. I also have the idea to move ->real_dev into ->cb[] so that the bonding driver, the only user of skb->real_dev, can maintain the pointer there. So we'd need to be careful that there is agreement on how the pre-protocol ->cb[] area is layed out to avoid conflict. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
