I use memmove().

If processing is arranged, There are 4 different ways RX packets are 
processed.

[Case1]
"rx_csum is enable " and
 "NET_IP_ALIGN == 0"

 DMA buffer is used as SKB as it is.

[Case2]
"rx_csum is enable " and
 "NET_IP_ALIGN != 0"

 Because alignment differs, the new_skb is newly allocated, and data is 
copied to new_skb.

[Case3]
"rx_csum is disable " and
 "length < copybreak" or "NET_IP_ALIGN != PCH_GBE_DMA_PADDING"

 Because alignment differs, the new_skb is newly allocated, and data is 
copied to new_skb.
 Padding data is deleted at the time of a copy.

[Case4]
"rx_csum is disable " and
 "length >= copybreak" and "NET_IP_ALIGN == PCH_GBE_DMA_PADDING"

 Padding data is deleted by moving header data.

I rewrite without using skb_copy_flag and skb_padding simply.

Best regards
