[PATCH 2/2] net: make net and forcedeth to use kmalloc_node
Please copy [email protected] on net patches.

This patch modifies a net driver as well as the networking core.  These
subsytems have different maintainers who run different development trees. Consequently I must split your patch into two and change their titles and
changelogs appropriately.

Please do this for us in future, thanks.

If we're going to do this then it would probably make sense to change
dev_alloc_skb_node() so that it takes a `struct net_device *' rather than a
bare node-id.  That's a call which the net guys will need to make, which is
why we cc them on our emails.

The driver should use netdev_alloc_skb. That routine is supposed to be overriden
on architecture's that need per node changes.

do you mean:
use dev_alloc_skb_node for numa arch.
and other non numa will use macro or static inline to dev_alloc_skb
