-Subject: [PATCH] solos-pci: Increase headroom on received packets
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-A comment in include/linux/skbuff.h says that:
-
- * Various parts of the networking layer expect at least 32 bytes of
- * headroom, you should not reduce this.
-
-This was demonstrated by a panic when handling fragmented IPv6 packets:
-http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=144236093519172&w=2
-
-It's not entirely clear if that comment is still valid — and if it is,
-perhaps netif_rx() ought to be enforcing it with a warning.
-
-But either way, it is rather stupid from a performance point of view
-for us to be receiving packets into a buffer which doesn't have enough
-room to prepend an Ethernet header — it means that *every* incoming
-packet is going to be need to be reallocated. So let's fix that.
