Hello Dave,

after a request from Matthias Fuchs regarding the status of this patch in
2.6.30-stable, i discovered a problem with the commit in 2.6.30-stable:

Patch discussion/history: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/28993/

The commit in mainline is correct:

But the commit in the 2.6.30-stable tree

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.30.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=172570a224fe66d560c097e48fca15b620c76e72

has a problem in patching include/net/sock.h:

The skb_orphan(skb) in skb_set_owner_w() is missing here.

Is there any chance to fix that in 2.6.30-stable?

Thanks,
Oliver
