Trying a different email address - previous mail at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdevm=121863813904363 I'd say Dave should merge it. Maybe it's too late already, but I'm really hoping to get this in 2.6.27. Without it, the IFF_VNET_HDR goodness already added in 2.6.27 can't be used by KVM guests created by libvirt ... which is a good chunk of the potential users for this stuff.

This seems really sensible to me. If Max acks it, I'd say Dave should merge it. Makes perfect sense to me. Definitely Ack. It has zero impact on existing user and I'd be ok if this goes in during .27-rc series. I've applied Mark's patch, thanks. ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
