3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Matthias Schiffer <mschiffer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit bc44b78157f621ff2a2618fe287a827bcb094ac4 upstream. batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() calls skb_cow(), so pointers into the SKB data must be (re)set after calling it. The ethhdr variable is dropped altogether.
