[PATCH 0/3] skbuff: pskb_expand_head changes

[Dave Wiltshire]

This patchset applies against David Miller's net-next tree.

This is my first patch, so please let me know if I've done something
wrong or could do something better (e.g. splitting the patch in a
different way).

I think there is a problem with memory accounting in pskb_expand_head.
Some call sites update truesize while others don't. This means that the
skbuff can change in size without truesize being updated. This seems
incorrect to me. So I changed it. Perhaps I don't understand something,
but I thought it best to generate the change and then ask. So is this
correct?

The other patches are from looking at all the call sites to
pskb_expand_head and since I was doing that I cleaned some of them up.

Dave Wiltshire (3):
  skbuff: Update truesize in pskb_expand_head
  skbuff: skb_cow_head not used in some drivers.
  skbuff: Added new helper function skb_cow_clone_head.
