We don't handle skb_shared_info->frag_list, so we shouldn't
be setting the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST flag.

We don't?

skb_to_sgvec() should handle it OK, is there some subtlety I'm missing?

Good grief ... yes, sorry.

Same is true for the tun patch, but I wonder ... could a fraglist skb
exceed 64k? i.e. we need to know the max possible size of a packet
before reading it from the tap.

Cheers,
Mark.

Sorry Jeff, Rusty correctly points out that we do in fact handle
shinfo->frags; just a moment of blindness on my part.

Thanks,
Mark.

Yeah, I meant shinfo->frag_list.

virtio_net uses skb_to_sgvec() and tun uses skb_copy_datagram_iovec()

Both handle shinfo->frag_list correctly.

Thanks,
Mark.
