    mac80211: Fix BUG in pskb_expand_head when transmitting shared skbs · 7e244707
    Helmut Schaa 提交于
    mac80211 doesn't handle shared skbs correctly at the moment. As a result
    a possible resize can trigger a BUG in pskb_expand_head.

    Fix this by making a local copy of shared skbs prior to mangeling them.
    To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the
    checks that don't need write access to the skb.
    
    Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point
    to the correct skb.
    
    It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using
    skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more
    complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize
    shouldn't matter much.
