From 7b797d5b150775d717cb03b5ada28b8bad99afab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 16:21:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PPP] generic: Call skb_cow_head before scribbling over skb It's rude to write over data that other people are still using. So call skb_cow_head before PPP proceeds to modify the skb data. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
