Srinivasan <[email protected]> Not until you start using paged SKBs in netvsc_recv_callback. Whatever fragmention you think you're avoiding in the hyperv layer, you're still going to get from the: skb = netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(net, packet->total_data_buflen); call there. This change makes no sense in isolation, therefore I'm not applying it until you also include the appropriate changes to avoid the same exact fragmentation issue in netvsc_drv.c as stated above. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
