[net-next PATCH 0/5] net: Add helper for padding short Ethernet frames

[Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@redhat.com>]

This patch series adds a helper to pad short Ethernet frames.  The general
idea is to clean up a number of code paths that were all writing their own
versions of the same or similar function.

An added advantage is that this will help to discourage introducing new
bugs as in at least one case I found the skb->len had been updated, but the
tail pointer update was overlooked.
