Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 10/10] batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging error for unicast transmissions
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 21:48:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392670129-2498-11-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1392670129-2498-1-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com>

batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast(_4addr) might reallocate the
skb's data. If it does then our ethhdr pointer is not valid
anymore in batadv_send_skb_unicast(), resulting in a kernel
paging error.

Fixing this by refetching the ethhdr pointer after the
potential reallocation.
