[PATCH 2/8 v3] smsc95xx: Use skb_cow_head to deal with cloned skbs

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

 



From: James Hughes <james.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e9156cd26a495a18706e796f02a81fee41ec14f4 upstream.

The driver was failing to check that the SKB wasn't cloned
before adding checksum data.
Replace existing handling to extend/copy the header buffer
with skb_cow_head.
