3.16.37-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3b55e4422087f9f7b241031d758a0c65584e4297 upstream.
The skb_linearize may reallocate the skb. This makes the calculated pointer
for ethhdr invalid. But it the pointer is used later to fill in the RR
field of the batadv_icmp_packet_rr packet.
Instead re-evaluate eth_hdr after the skb_linearize+skb_cow to fix the
pointer and avoid the invalid read.
Fixes: da6b8c20a5b8 ("batman-adv: generalize batman-adv icmp packet handling")
