X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~21^2~3^2~5 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b5bbe3b8bee8b38bdc27dd9c0270829b6eb7eeb;p=pandora-kernel.git virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path. The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times. After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan() generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following patches take advantage of this.
