The previous > method is implemented here. It looks like in the out-of-memory path, pci_map_single() gets called while the skb is still mapped. Won't this leak the IOMMU mapping? -- 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
