Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Beginnings of skb_frag -> bio_vec conversion

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

It turns out there's a lot of accessors for the skb_frag, which would
make this conversion really easy if some drivers didn't bypass them.
This is what I've done so far; my laptop's not really beefy enough to
cope with changing skbuff.h too often ;-)

This would be a great time to tell me I'm going about this all wrong.
I already found one problem in this patch set; some of the drivers should
have been converted to skb_frag_dma_map() instead of fixing the arguments
to dma_map_page().  But anyway, I need sleep.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (5):
  net: Increase the size of skb_frag_t
  net: Reorder the contents of skb_frag_t
  net: Include bvec.h in skbuff.h
  net: Use skb accessors for skb->page
  net: Rename skb_frag page to bv_page
