Currently skb_gro_header_slow unconditionally resets frag0 and frag0_len. However, when we can't pull on the skb this leaves the GRO fields in an inconsistent state. This patch fixes this by only resetting those fields after the pskb_may_pull test. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herb...@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
