Most of the work will simply be peppering the input paths with the necessary pskb_may_pull() calls. The data transfer helpers all understand non-linear SKBs, so you likely won't need to do much in that area. In fact it should be very simple to add proper support here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
