From 1ab41265c39354332630bcba0ec704abd2e790f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=81lvaro=20Fern=C3=A1ndez=20Rojas?= Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 13:55:03 +0200 Subject: kernel: use skb_cow_head() to deal with cloned skbs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
