Hi Mark, This patch is fine, but it's better to do it from skb_xmit_done(). Of course, this is usually called from an interrupt handler, so it's not entirely trivial: we can't free the skbs there. A softirq is probably the answer here, but AFAICT that's old fashioned. Not sure what the right way of doing this is now...
