4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> Kernels that do not have f6b10209b90d ("virtio-net: switch to use build_skb() for small buffer") will have an extra call to skb_to_sgvec that is not handled by e2fcad58fd23 ("virtio_net: check return value of skb_to_sgvec always"). Since the former does not appear to be stable material, just fix the call up directly. Cc: Jason A.
