[PATCH 02/11] gigaset: linearize skb

From: Tilman Schmidt
Date: Tue Oct 06 2009 - 18:20:59 EST


The code of the Gigaset driver assumes that sk_buff-s coming
from the ISDN4Linux subsystem are always linear. Explicitly
calling skb_linearize() is cheap if they are, but much more
robust in case they ever aren't.

Impact: robustness improvement
