Can you add a comment which explains the intent?

+struct sk_buff *dev_alloc_skb(unsigned int length)
+{
+       /* There is more code here than it seems:
+        * __dev_alloc_skb is an inline */
+	return __dev_alloc_skb(length, GFP_ATOMIC);
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(dev_alloc_skb);
I've applied his patch already, if you want this comment
