From 87151b8689d890dfb495081f7be9b9e257f7a2df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:08:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non SG capable hardware. Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future reallocations. As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.
