v3 - Unmap skb before trying to allocate a new one so as to not leak mapping.
Looks good to me, although I'm not sure about the handling of DMA mapping errors (perhaps that's something that drivers typically don't even try to handle?). Anyway, the skb allocation issue appears to be resolved now. I am running your patch with an extra hack to inject some occasional skb allocation failures, and I haven't noticed any problems except dropped packets. Eric
