From 91c5746425aed8f7188a351f1224a26aa232e4b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:28:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] aoe: reserve enough headroom on skbs Some network drivers use a non default hard_header_len Transmitted skb should take into account dev->hard_header_len, or risk crashes or expensive reallocations. In the case of aoe, lets reserve MAX_HEADER bytes. David reported a crash in defxx driver, solved by this patch.
