need an education here. created a patchset for this problem and i'm about to test that against 4.2 GENERIC and have a couple of questions
1. are the results generally intersting? should i post them somewhere (assuming tests go right) assuming above is yes 2. had to manually add the line from r1.94 to 'mbuf.h' to skip the other changes in r1.93. is there a "cvs" way to do that or should it be manual and i assume there's nothing for me relevant to branching etc as that is only relevant to the repository/commiter, right? 3. m_gethdr duplicates the new m_inithdr code which seems ... not great ... would it be better to (a) call the m_inithdr function from m_gethdr (b) change it to a macro (c) change the m_inithdr to inline and call it from m_gethdr (no idea whether the function would get inlined anyway). and finally, how do i create a patchset? is it simply a concat of the individual file patches?
