If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Neil Horman [ Upstream commit d8873315065f1f527c7c380402cf59b1e1d0ae36 ] Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs. A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the flag is set properly Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Reported-by: Jiri Pirko CC: Robert Olsson CC: Eric Dumazet CC: Alexey Dobriyan CC: David S.
