Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I didn't mean to estimate the size of the message. The way you're doing it right now is perfectly fine. I'm interested in a estimate on how many items are being dumped in practice. Less than 1K or a couple of K? High order allocations are likely to fail if under pressure while using dumpit() allows to reuse memory ressources. - 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
