batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging errors for unicast transmissions
PATCH v4 1/1 batman-adv: fix potential kernel paging errors for unicast transmissions
There are several functions which might reallocate skb data. Currently some places keep reusing their old ethhdr pointer regardless of whether they became invalid after such a reallocation or not. This potentially leads to kernel paging errors.
This patch fixes these by refetching the ethdr pointer after the potential reallocations.
---
v4:
* Reassign new ethhdr correctly in batadv_unicast_generic_send_skb()
v3:
* Remove the change from 'Returns' to 'Return
* Avoid using eth_hdr(skb), using (struct ethhdr *)skb->data instead
* Added fix for batadv_gw_is_dhcp_target() too
