Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ipv6: remove skb_reserve in getroute
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:08:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1485468516-4750-1-git-send-email-dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> (raw)

Remove skb_reserve and skb_reset_mac_header from inet6_rtm_getroute. The
allocated skb is not passed through the routing engine (like it is for
IPv4) and has not since the beginning of git time.
