From fed66381d65a35198639f564365e61a7f256bf79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:09:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: pskb_expand_head() optimization Move frags[] at the end of struct skb_shared_info, and make pskb_expand_head() copy only the used part of it instead of whole array. This should avoid kmemcheck warnings and speedup pskb_expand_head() as well, avoiding a lot of cache misses. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
