Thanks.
This is a little odd -- I don't see why
pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 0)
or
pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 18)
would try to do an order 1 allocation when skb->len is 404 or 1728. It
looks like something is forcing larger alignments than should be
necessary, but I have no idea what.
(for netdev: http://mid.gmane.org/49F8C03D.6040909@lwfinger.net has more
information)
