2013-11-22 Thread Thomas Graf
Use of skb_zerocopy() can avoids the expensive call to memcpy() when copying the packet data into the Netlink skb. Completes checksum through skb_checksum_help() if needed. Zerocopy is only performed if user space supported unaligned Netlink messages. memory mapped netlink i/o is preferred over ze
