You have this part right. The length represents the maximum length we are willing to traverse in the buffer. So if we 100% want to get the entire header regardless of what we can copy into then we could follow your approach. However, since the allocated space in the skb is only IGB_RX_HDR_LEN we only really want to traverse up to that length. Then that is all we copy out of the header. As a result we don't need the extra code for putting the upper limit on pull_len since that is factored in by passing IGB_RX_HDR_LEN as the maximum traversal length. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
