Subject: [PATCH v2] ethernet: call __skb_pull() in eth_type_trans()
Date: Mon,  3 May 2010 22:12:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272895972-13799-1-git-send-email-xiaosuo@gmail.com> (raw)

call __skb_pull() in eth_type_trans().

The callers of eth_type_trans() should always feed it long enough packets. When
the length of the packet is less than ETH_ZLEN, a warning message will be shown,
and the later behaviors are undefined.
