Hi,
I noticed that tunwrite() does not allocate a cluster, even if the size of the
packet is greater than or equal to MINCLSIZE. Rather it stores the packet
in a mbuf chain.
Is there any reason why this is so ? I thought that packets with
size >= MINCLSIZE are traditionally stored in clusters.
Can someone please take a look at the patch for -current below ?
thanks
Neel
