Subject: [PATCH 1/8] batman-adv: avoid skb_linearise() if not needed
Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 09:17:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336979858-13928-2-git-send-email-ordex@autistici.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336979858-13928-1-git-send-email-ordex@autistici.org>

Whenever we want to access headers only, we do not need to linearise the whole
packet. Instead we can use pskb_may_pull()
