Subject: [PATCH v3] brcmfmac: Make skb header writable before use
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:15:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170425091506.18224-1-james.hughes@raspberrypi.org> (raw)
The driver was making changes to the skb_header without
ensuring it was writable (i.e. uncloned).
This patch also removes some boiler plate header size
checking/adjustment code as that is also handled by the
skb_cow_header function used to make header writable.
Please apply to 4.12, important fix.
This patch depends on
brcmfmac: Ensure pointer correctly set if skb data location changes

Changes in v2
Makes the _cow_ call at the entry point of the skb in to the
stack, means only needs to be done once, and error handling
is easier.
Split a separate minor bug fix off to a separate patch (which
this patch depends on)
Changes in v3
Minor change to the 'if' logic to reduce patch size as per
maintainers request.
Flagged as important fix for 4.12 in commit message
