[PATCH net-next 3/8] tun: report orphan frags errors to zero copycallback

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Mon Oct 29 2012 - 11:52:30 EST


When tun transmits a zero copy skb, it orphans the frags
which might need to allocate extra memory, in atomic context.
If that fails, notify ubufs callback before freeing the skb
as a hint that device should disable zerocopy mode.
