The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit 70b271a78beba787155d6696aacd7c4d4a251c50 Author: Antonio Quartulli antonio@meshcoding.com Date: Sat Feb 15 21:50:37 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.
