[ 31/42] net: Fix skb_under_panic oops in neigh_resolve_output

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-10-26 00:34:57
Also in: lkml

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: "ramesh.nagappa@gmail.com" <redacted>

[ Upstream commit e1f165032c8bade3a6bdf546f8faf61fda4dd01c ]

The retry loop in neigh_resolve_output() and neigh_connected_output()
call dev_hard_header() with out reseting the skb to network_header.
This causes the retry to fail with skb_under_panic. The fix is to
reset the network_header within the retry loop.
