Actually, it was Chris Leech who raised this possibility: : Yes, e1000 devices will spill over and use multiple buffers for a : single frame. We've been trying to find a good way to use multiple : buffers to take care of these allocation problems. The structure of : the sk_buff does not make it easy. Or should I say that it's the : limitation that drivers are not allowed to chain together multiple : sk_buffs to represent a single frame that does not make it easy. Perhaps he can enlighten us.
