From: Sven Eckelmann <[email protected]> When a packet is transmitted via a batman-adv interface and has already enough room for the header then the nothing will make sure that the skbuff is unshared. But it is now allowed to modify a currently shared skbuff. Always make sure that the pskb_expand_head() is not only called for a too small header but also for shared skbuffs.
