Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] gianfar: Fix missing sock reference when processing TX time stamps

When there is not enough headroom in the skb a private copy will be made.
However, the private copy had no reference to the socket and consequently
no time stamp could be queued on the socket error queue during the
skb_tstamp_tx function. This patch fixes this issue by also stealing the
sock reference from the original skb after making the private copy.

Hi Manfred,

If you feel like helping with maintainance, these two fixes should
also go into stable. Once they have appeared in mainline, you can send
them to the stable list, mentioning the upstream commit ID.

[ If you put the Cc: tag in the sign off area, then the stable
  submission occurs automatically. Sorry, I probably should have
  explained that before. ]

Thanks,
Richard
