Yeah - trying to see what can be done. > > The point is : we want a core infrastructure, not something that each > individual driver implements in ~500 lines of code :( > > I totally understand that :) I just claim to be unique in a way that "each individual driver" is ... only me :) I guess that if we would build the DMA descriptors directly from the skb_gso (the skb coming from the stack), that's be easier. Our HW abstraction layer wants an skb and I need to pass several skbs (because skb->len is very likely not to fit in one single 802.11 packet even if it is an A-MSDU). So, trying to use net/core/tso.c basically means, to open the arch of our driver... Not impossible, but quite a bit of work. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
