| |
You know where to get it:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davem/zerocopy-2.4.1-3.diff.gz
Fixes:
1) pskb_expand_tail could corrupt SKB frag lists in some cases, leading to OOPS
2) Need to check for out of window data even in the partial packet cases of tcp_data_queue
3) Merged in some small net fixes from the AC patches.
As of this moment, I know of no bugs (ie. corrupts data or crashes kernel) in the zerocopy patches.
Some people have asked me about making a patch against the AC patches. It is doable, but would be quite a bit of work for me.
If someone would like to do this and put those patches up somewhere, they can feel free to do so. Just let everyone on linux-kernel and netdev know about it. Probably, after the next zerocopy patch revision, I will ask Alan to add the zerocopy stuff to his tree anyways. Things really look good right now.
Thanks.
