From 3d8334def5cf831d2ed438aae021696a2faa4ddd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2006 18:57:16 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] taskstats: fix sk_buff size calculation prepare_reply() adds GENL_HDRLEN to the payload (genlmsg_total_size()), but then it does genlmsg_put()->nlmsg_put(). This means we forget to reserve a room for 'struct nlmsghdr'.
