I was going to forget this, but its been playing in the back of my head and wont go away.... Matt Carlson recently (while fixing the tg3 driver in my batching patches) pointed to me that skb->cb[] was being used to pass around vlan data. This seems like a bad use since there can be a lot of things between a real hardware driver and something that sets a vlan tag (qdiscs come to mind).
Creating a new skb field be the reasonable thing to do here but i know that we are trying to avoid adding new fields. Thoughts? cheers, jamal - 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
