This method allows the controlling device (i.e. the bridge) to specify additional headroom to be allocated for skb head on frame reception. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> --- v1 -> v2: - fixed netdev_get_fwd_headroom() - added netdev_set_rx_headroom() and netdev_reset_rx_headroom() helpers v2 -> v3: - fix typo in ndo_set_rx_headroom documentation --- include/linux/netdevice.h | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+)
