[PATCH 5.4.y 5.10.y 1/4] skbuff: introduce skb_expand_head()

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

 



From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f1260ff15a71b8fc122b2c9abd8a7abffb6e0168 ]

Like skb_realloc_headroom(), new helper increases headroom of specified skb.
Unlike skb_realloc_headroom(), it does not allocate a new skb if possible;
copies skb->sk on new skb when as needed and frees original skb in case
of failures.

This helps to simplify ip[6]_finish_output2() and a few other similar cases.
