Subject: [PATCH] net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 09:56:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331744185.6022.25.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

network drivers should reserve some headroom on incoming skbs so that we
dont need expensive reallocations, eg forwarding packets in tunnels.

This NET_SKB_PAD padding is done in various helpers, like
__netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() in this patch, combining NET_SKB_PAD and
NET_IP_ALIGN magic.
