From b5dd884e682cae6b8c037f9d11f3b623b4cf2011 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabor Gombas Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:19:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix 'Re: PACKET_TX_RING: packet size is too long' Currently PACKET_TX_RING forces certain amount of every frame to remain unused. This probably originates from an early version of the PACKET_TX_RING patch that in fact used the extra space when the (since removed) CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP_ZERO_COPY option was enabled. The current code does not make any use of this extra space. This patch removes the extra space reservation and lets userspace make use of the full frame size.
