From: Karen Xie <kxie@xxxxxxxxxxx>

stg can be tricky ...
[adding @adapter in cxgb3_arp_process doxygen header]
The accelerated iSCSI traffic uses a private IP address unknown to the OS.
The driver has to reply to ARP requests dedicated to the private IP address.

Can this happen?

Should arp_hdr_len() be used here?

Other net code uses __constant_htons() for this.

(Dunno why - if it makes a difference, htons() is broken?)


Doesn't this avoid complaints from sparse endian checking?
