Hi,

Anyone care to test or comment on  these patches?  I've attached 
versions for 2.6.28 and 2.6.30.

Note I've done all my tests without any QOS settings.  I start my link 
by something like "br2684ctl -c 0 -e 0 -p 1 -b -a 8.32"

Without these patches, if you open one or many file transfers, then also 
do a ping you will notice heavy packet loss.  This packet loss is being 
caused by the call to dev_kfree_skb(skb);


With these patches my max throughput drops 20% to  40% or so on a 24 
Mbps ADSL2+  line, but no longer have packet loss.   On a 15Mbps (and 
slower) line,  I no longer see packet loss with these patches.



Thanks
