[patch 34/37] sky2: use dev_alloc_skb for receive buffers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>

Several code paths assume an additional 16 bytes of header padding
on the receive path. Use dev_alloc_skb to get that padding.
