Subject: [PATCH] gianfar: fix headroom expansion code
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:08:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090326100856.265f7872@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090325.172139.142233386.davem@davemloft.net>

The code that was added to increase headroom was wrong.
It doesn't handle the case where gfar_add_fcb() changes the skb.
Better to do check at start of transmit (outside of lock), where
error handling is better anyway.
