From c2aa3665cf8510b1665ee2f5a9525cf7be6dec4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 23:18:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: add kmemcheck annotation in __alloc_skb() pskb_expand_head() triggers a kmemcheck warning when copy of skb_shared_info is done in pskb_expand_head() This is because destructor_arg field is not necessarily initialized at this point. Add kmemcheck_annotate_variable() call in __alloc_skb() to instruct kmemcheck this is a normal situation.
