I have been asking this myself on nearly every one of my patches since you announced the new stack. :-) The skb change here, which I wanted to do for some time, was prompted by /a/ trouble with skb lock annotations when lockdep went mainline and /b/ a very recent bug report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8216 which first read like -ENOBUG but then motivated me to clean up hpsb_packet a bit and also pointed me to a raw1394 bug. (Besides, most of the cleanup patches which I came up with were meant to pave the way for actual bug fixes. I'm just extremely slow with following up with the latter.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== --== =--== http://arcgraph.de/sr/
