From 74f15d9eecd8fd4e2537b9f51e68ee89d9e411a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 14:33:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tun: reserves space for network in skb The tun driver allocates skb's to hold data from user and then passes the data into the network stack as received data. Most network devices allocate the receive skb with routines like dev_alloc_skb() that reserves additional space for use by network protocol stack but tun does not. Because of the lack of padding, when the packet is passed through bridge netfilter a new skb has to be allocated. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
