tcp: handle shift/merge of cloned skbs too
This caused me to get repeatably: tcpdump: pcap_loop: recvfrom: Bad address Happens occassionally when I tcpdump my for-looped test xfers: while [ : ]; do echo -n "$(date '+%s.%N') "; ./sendfile; sleep 20; done Rest of the relevant commands: ethtool -K eth0 tso off tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem drop 4% tcpdump -n -s0 -i eth0 -w sacklog.all Running net-next under kvm, connection goes to the same host (basically just out of kvm). The connection itself works ok and data gets sent without corruption even with a large number of tests while tcpdump fails usually within less than 5 tests. Whether it only happens because of this change or not, I don't know for sure but it's the only thing with which I've seen that error. The non-cloned variant works w/o it for much longer time. I'm yet to debug where the error actually comes from. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
