What is its rationale? This was a wholesale change done across the entire tree, they were all straightforward transformations that didn't change what the code did. It was a change done so that we could hide the skb data buffering details to the point where we could change the protocol header pointers into 32-bit offsets which saves 4 bytes per such pointer per protocol header stored in struct sk_buff. We're not going to notify the maintainer of each of the hundreds of source files we had to touch in order to pull this off, sorry. These changes were posted to [email protected], they also sat in Andrew Morton's -mm tree for quite some time. - 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
