Subject: [PATCH] solos-pci: Increase headroom on received packets

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:

|
|
|
|
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.
