From: Eric Dumazet Steinar reported reallocations of skb->head with IPv6, leading to a warning in skb_try_coalesce() It turns out iwl3945 has several problems : 1) skb->truesize is underestimated. We really consume PAGE_SIZE bytes for a fragment, not the frame length. 2) 128 bytes of initial headroom is a bit low and forces reallocations. 3) We can avoid consuming a full page for small enough frames.
