Andi Kleen wrote: Why not add a 32-bit field to the skb to handle various flag needs going forward?That is what ->cb already is From the comments, it appears each layer can write over these, and since it's just a block of bytes, it is difficult to understand what each bit/field is used for. It still seems to me that a bit-field with well defined flags is more useful. Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com |
