commit 41b38727749a94c1a65cf0f4be9bfe1cbaf0adeb Author: Linus Lüssing linus.luessing@web.de Date: Mon Jan 20 11:06:44 2014 +0100
batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging error for unicast transmissions
batadv_send_skb_prepare_unicast(_4addr) might reallocate the skb's data. If it does then our ethhdr pointer is not valid anymore in batadv_send_skb_unicast(), resulting in a kernel paging error.
Fixing this by refetching the ethhdr pointer after the potential reallocation.
Introduced by b46c60b9e1ee7a1909c542413a85875a750955d6 ("batman-adv: improve unicast packet (re)routing")
