If this bothers you so much start where the real problems are and advocate on linux-kernel for descreasing the type size of "offset" and "length" in struct scatterlist. It's a bit on the hypocritical side to complain about this skb_frag_t change when I've never seen a peep out of you about scatterlist doing the same thing :-) Otherwise, we're better off with the types being the same so that we can use scatterlist in skb_frag_t and therefore kill serious performance problems with DMA mapping of sk_buff objects that exists today on platforms such as powerpc. - 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
