Actually, no it is used.

If you look in if_var.h int he drbr_putback() function, it does
a buf_ring_swap when the old mbuf pointer does not equal the
new mbuf pointer. This *does* happen, I crashed at least once
yesterday when the igb driver did something to free the original
mbuf and return a new mbuf with the data (prepend or some such).

I also have found several issues that I have fixed this morning.. its been
crash city on my test beds..

Here is the latest patch with all fixes and suggested changes from emaste (thanks Ed)

R
