From ea5ceeabf5621ed36d24e6741b45cfd1e1fce11b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tushar Dave Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 03:43:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] igb: Correcting and improving small packet check and padding Current implementation mess up the tail pointer. This patch sets skb->tail correctly. Also, the small packet check and padding is optimized by using unlikely and calling skb_pad directly.
