Subject: [PATCH] net: fix napi_reuse_skb() skb reserve
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:58:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332349083.5330.49.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

napi->skb is allocated in napi_get_frags() using
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), with a reserve of NET_SKB_PAD +
NET_IP_ALIGN bytes.

However, when such skb is recycled in napi_reuse_skb(), it ends with a
reserve of NET_IP_ALIGN which is suboptimal.
