Re: [PATCH] forcedeth: fix random memory scribbling bug

Jeff Garzik [off-list ref] :
[...]

Paranoia -- the situation above never occurs.  It is coded as are other 
drivers:  np->rx_buf_sz only changes in ->change_mtu(), which (a) is 
serialized against close and (b) always stops the engine and drains RX 
skbs before changing the size.

Yep.

Btw, regarding the "more sense" thing, now:
- pci_{map/unmap}_single() uses skb->foo
- nv_alloc_rx() and friends use np->rx_buf_sz

(thread moved to netdev@vger.kernel.org)
