[PATCH 4.4 41/87] cx82310_eth: 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 a9e840a2081ed28c2b7caa6a9a0041c950b3c37d 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.
