Subject: iwl3945: better skb management in rx path
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 45fe142cefa864b685615bcb930159f6749c3667 upstream.
Steinar reported reallocations of skb->head with IPv6, leading to
a warning in skb_try_coalesce()
It turns out iwl3945 has several problems :
1) skb->truesize is underestimated.
We really consume PAGE_SIZE bytes for a fragment,
not the frame length.
2) 128 bytes of initial headroom is a bit low and forces reallocations.
3) We can avoid consuming a full page for small enough frames.
