From 1ed760c9aca0b69c5b24c6fd454bcc573a01df99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arend Van Spriel Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:10:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath6kl: assure headroom of skbuff is writable in .start_xmit() An issue was found brcmfmac driver in which a skbuff in .start_xmit() callback was actually cloned. So instead of checking for sufficient headroom it should also be writable. Hence use skb_cow_head() to check and expand the headroom appropriately.
