From 5cd33db2120b5ce972568711156f91da83bff2d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lennert Buytenhek Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:45:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: fix setting of skb->tail in skb_recycle_check() Since skb_reset_tail_pointer() reads skb->data, we need to set skb->data before calling skb_reset_tail_pointer(). This was causing spurious skb_over_panic()s from skb_put() being called on a recycled skb that had its skb->tail set to beyond where it should have been. Bug report from Peter van Valderen .
