From 19125c1a4fd873421698876f34a06dbe18d25f17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Zhang Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 20:49:30 +0800 Subject: net: use skb_clone to avoid alloc_pages failure. 1. new skb only need dst and ip address(v4 or v6). 2. skb_copy may need high order pages, which is very rare on long running server.
