They all tried to undo the alignment skb_reserve done in gfar_new_skb() before queuing the skb into the rw_recycle, because upon getting a new one in gfar_new_skb() if the skb is from the rx_recycle pool rather then newly allocated it is reserved twice. Instead of trying to undo the skb_reserve this proposed patch will make sure the alignment skb_reserve is done once, upon allocating the skb and not when taken out of the rx_recycle pool. Eliminating the need to undo anything before queue skb back to the pool. This patch will apply cleanly against the 2.6.32.15. Another patch will be submitted separately for the current Linus tree. -- Liberty Signed-off-by: Eran Liberty <liberty(a)extricom.com> |
