[PATCH 4.4 38/87] lan78xx: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d4ca73591916b760478d2b04334d5dcadc028e9c upstream.

We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.
