Subject: [PATCH 3.2 85/95] smsc75xx: use skb_cow_head() to deal with
 cloned skbs

3.2.91-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit b7c6d2675899cfff0180412c63fc9cbd5bacdb4d upstream.

We need to ensure there is enough headroom to push extra header,
but we also need to check if we are allowed to change headers.

skb_cow_head() is the proper helper to deal with this.
