I missed this when hch first posted it, sorry. But my impression was that the intent of the config option was to let Xen hook __dev_alloc_skb() to allocate special receive skbs to handle their page-flipping virtual network device. Which goes beyond NET_SKB_PAD. So the real question is about Xen hooks I guess -- and given where the rest of Xen is, it probably does make sense to go ahead and strip this out. - R. - 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
