[PATCH] Add _ckpt_read_hdr_type() helper

Dan Smith danms at us.ibm.com
Tue Jul 7 12:03:27 PDT 2009


This helper function gives us a way to read a header object and the
subsequent payload from the checkpoint stream directly into our own
buffer.  This is used by the net/checkpoint.c code to read skb's
without a memcpy().

I'm sending this separately so that it doesn't get mixed in with the
set going to netdev in a minute.
