The only major complaint I have about this patch series is that the IPoIB part should just be one big changeset. Otherwise the tree is not bisectable, for example the initial ipoib header file change breaks the build. The tree must compile and work properly after every single patch. On a lower priority, I question the indirection of skb_blist by making it a pointer. For what? Saving 12 bytes on 64-bit? That kmalloc()'d thing is a nearly guarenteed cache and/or TLB miss. Just inline the thing, we generally don't do crap like this anywhere else. - 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
