From: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de
There are several functions which might reallocate skb data. Currently some places keep reusing their old ethhdr pointer regardless of whether they became invalid after such a reallocation or not. This potentially leads to kernel paging errors.
This patch fixes these by refetching the ethdr pointer after the potential reallocations.
