Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: remove sk skb caches Eric noted we would be better off reverting the sk skb caches. MPTCP relies on such a feature, so we need a little refactor of the MPTCP tx path before the mentioned revert. The first patch exposes additional TCP helpers. The 2nd patch changes the MPTCP code to do locally the whole skb allocation and updating, so it does not rely anymore on core TCP helpers for that nor the sk skb cache. As a side effect, we can make the tcp_build_frag helper static. Finally, we can pull Eric's revert. RFC -> v1: - drop driver specific patch - no more needed after helper rename - rename skb_entail -> tcp_skb_entail (Eric) - preserve the tcp_build_frag helpwe, just make it static (Eric) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
