Subject: [TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffs
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1138^2~71
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe13dda2d24eca2ee8a6bb8a0af88ab84d589fd6;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

[TIPC]: Force linearization of non-linear sk_buffs

This patch allows TIPC to process incoming messages that are
stored in a fragmented sk_buff, by forcing the linearization
of any such messages it receives.

Note: This is an interim solution to allow TIPC to operate with
Ethernet devices that generate non-linear buffers (such as the
gianfar driver), until such time as the rest of TIPC is enhanced
to handle sk_buffs with multiple data areas.
