Re: [PATCH 1/1] myri10ge: use physical pages for skb allocation

Hi Jeff,

It looks like you didn't apply this patch to #upstream for 2.6.20 so far. We would really like to get ith in 2.6.20 (we already missed 2.6.19 by a couple days :)). But, I guess we need some testing in -mm first, so...

thanks,
Brice

Physical pages are used instead of 16kB contiguous buffers for the
skb frags. And we also put as much fragments as possible in any page
so that we do not have to allocate a page for every fragments.
