With GPLPV under 2.6.30, GPLPV gets the following from the ring:
ring slot n (first buffer):
 status (length) = 54 bytes
 offset = 0
 flags = NETRXF_extra_info (possibly csum too but not relevant)
ring slot n + 1 (extra info)
 gso.size (mss) = 1460
Because NETRXF_extra_info is not set, that's all I get for that packet.

In the IP header though, the total length is 1544 (which in itself is a
little strange), but obviously I'm not getting a full packet, just the
ETH+IP+TCP header.
According to Andrew Lyon it works fine in previous versions, so this
problem only arises on 2.6.30. I don't know if netfront on Linux suffers
from a similar problem.
I can't identify any changes that could cause this, but if the problem
is in netback either the frags count isn't being set correctly, or
skb->cb (which appears to be used temporarily to hold nr_frags) is
becoming corrupt (set to 0) somehow, but the window where this could
occur is very small and I can't see where it could happen.
Any suggestions as to where to start looking?
(one nice thing is that I have identified a crash that would occur when
the IP header lied about its length!)
Thanks
James
