4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: James Hughes <james.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 455a1eb4654c24560eb9dfc634f29cba3d87601e upstream. The incoming skb header may be resized if header space is insufficient, which might change the data adddress in the skb. Ensure that a cached pointer to that data is correctly set by moving assignment to after any possible changes.
