Does anyone think that allocating skbs during system idle time would be useful?
Net drivers (well, ethernet at least) often wind up allocating maximum-sized skb's for use in Rx descriptors. It seems to me that it would be useful at interrupt time to have an skb already allocated, falling back on current dev_alloc_skb behavior during times of system load.
