This patch introduces several helper functions/macros that will be used in the follow-up patch. No runtime changes yet. The new logic (fully implemented in the second patch) is as follows: * Nodes in the rb-tree will now contain not single fragments, but lists of consecutive fragments ("runs"). * At each point in time, the current "active" run at the tail is maintained/tracked. Fragments that arrive in-order, adjacent to the previous tail fragment, are added to this tail run without triggering the re-balancing of the rb-tree. * If a fragment arrives out of order with the offset _before_ the tail run, it is inserted into the rb-tree as a single fragment. * If a fragment arrives after the current tail fragment (with a gap), it starts a new "tail" run, as is inserted into the rb-tree at the end as the head of the new run. skb->cb is used to store additional information needed here (suggested by Eric Dumazet).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
