build_skb() is supposed to be followed by skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN), so that IP headers are word-aligned. (Best practice is to reserve NET_IP_ALIGN+NET_SKB_PAD, but the NET_SKB_PAD part is only a performance optimization if tunnel encaps are added.) Unfortunately virtio_net has not provisioned this reserve. We can only use build_skb() for arches where NET_IP_ALIGN == 0 We might refine this later, with enough testing.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
