[PATCH 4.4 44/60] brcmfmac: Ensure pointer correctly set if skb data location changes

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: James Hughes <james.hughes@raspberrypi.org>

commit 455a1eb4654c24560eb9dfc634f29cba3d87601e upstream.

The incoming skb header may be resized if header space is
insufficient, which might change the data adddress in the skb.
Ensure that a cached pointer to that data is correctly set by
moving assignment to after any possible changes.
