From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 07:39:01 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry X-Git-Tag: 2.1b_release~24387^2~36 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b995651e373d6424f81db23f2ec503306dfd7f0;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Fkernel-mfld-blackbay.git [BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code). So it makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
