We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header, but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers. skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this. Fixes Ethernet<->WiFi bridge for Raspberry Pi and probably other devices. Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas <noltari@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH] kaweth: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs
|
|
|
|
We can use skb_cow_head() to properly deal with clones,
|
|
especially the ones coming from TCP stack that allow their head being
|
|
modified. This avoids a copy.
