Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 1/2] batman-adv: Remove unused skb_reset_mac_header()
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2016 23:46:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470519973-22972-1-git-send-email-linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> (raw)
During broadcast queueing, the skb_reset_mac_header() sets the skb
to a place invalid for a MAC header, pointing right into the
batman-adv broadcast packet. Luckily, no one seems to actually use
eth_hdr(skb) afterwards until batadv_send_skb_packet() resets the
header to a valid position again.
Therefore removing this unnecessary, weird skb_reset_mac_header()
call.
