Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.9 Use skb_padto() in drivers/net/8390.c
Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 18:12:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41C21664.2070404@muskoka.com> (raw)


The 8390 driver had been fixed for leaking information in short packets
prior to skb_padto() existing.  This change gets rid of the scratch area on
the stack and makes it use skb_padto().  Thanks to Mark Smith for bringing
this to my attention.
