Subject: [PATCH] Fix up truesize after pskb_expand_head() in wireless stack
Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2009 16:18:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090104151819.GA6590@basil.nowhere.org> (raw)

Fix up truesize after pskb_expand_head() in wireless stack
 
When using a zd1211rw wireless usb stick I regularly got truesize
warnings in the kernel log.

This patch fixes those up in the wireless layer. tx.c already
did that, but not rx.c. I think my messages only came from
the middle case, but I fixed up all three users in rx.c 

The underlying problem seems to be that pskb_expand_head() doesn't 
manipulate truesize. Perhaps it should? I suspect more users of it have 
the same problem. I didn't change the low level code because
I was afraid to break some callers, but perhaps it would be
better to do it this way. Anyways here's a patch that only
changes it in the wireless layer with minimal risk.

Patch against 2.6.28, but I think linus git still has the same
issue.

I believe this is a 2.6.28 stable candidate. I even saw
the same problem in 2.6.27.
