Subject: [PATCH] taskstats: fix sk_buff size calculation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d8334def5cf831d2ed438aae021696a2faa4ddd;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] taskstats: fix sk_buff size calculation

prepare_reply() adds GENL_HDRLEN to the payload (genlmsg_total_size()),
but then it does genlmsg_put()->nlmsg_put().  This means we forget to
reserve a room for 'struct nlmsghdr'.
