From d1a53dfd114a6c53464de116cdab88d934bfe92f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rami Rosen Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 23:39:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: fix documentation of skb_needs_linearize(). skb_needs_linearize() does not check highmem DMA as it does not call illegal_highdma() anymore, so there is no need to mention highmem DMA here. (Indeed, ~NETIF_F_SG flag, which is checked in skb_needs_linearize(), can be set when illegal_highdma() returns true, and we are assured that illegal_highdma() is invoked prior to skb_needs_linearize() as skb_needs_linearize() is a static method called only once. But ~NETIF_F_SG can be set not only there in this same invocation path. It can also be set when can_checksum_protocol() returns false). see commit 02932ce9e2c136e6fab2571c8e0dd69ae8ec9853, Convert skb_need_linearize() to use precomputed features.
