Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ath10k: sdio: replace skb_trim with explicit set of skb->len
Date: Tue,  9 Apr 2019 21:08:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190409190851.4557-7-erik.stromdahl@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190409190851.4557-1-erik.stromdahl@gmail.com>

This patch fixes a bug with padding of the skb data buffer.
Since skb_trim can only be used to reduce the skb len, it is useless when
we pad (increase the length of) the skb. Instead we must set skb->len
directly.
