Y. Srinivasan says: ==================== hv_netvsc: Eliminate memory allocation in the send path The network protocol used to communicate with the host is the remote ndis (rndis) protocol. We need to decorate each outgoing packet with a rndis header and additional rndis state (rndis per-packet state). To manage this state, we currently allocate memory in the transmit path. Eliminate this allocation by requesting additional head room in the skb. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 3271e4f18d9a4ec9ac5568f94444dac08f29c5a0
