This patch replaces the calls to alloc_skb with calls

dev_alloc_skb has GFP_ATOMIC priority so the
replacement does not change the code semantics.
I don't think this change is correct. What problem are you trying
to solve? Perhaps we can help you. Also the reason for the change
should be described in the changelog.

Well, i was reading a tutorial on linux networking where it
was suggested to use dev_alloc_skb() instead of alloc_skb()
in drivers.
As I told you, I am not at all experienced.
Where is appropriate to use dev_alloc_skb()?
Can you give me an insight?
