[PATCH] tun: make tun_build_skb() thread safe

From: Jason Wang
Date: Wed Aug 16 2017 - 10:14:47 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

tun_build_skb() is not thread safe since it uses per queue page frag,
this will break things when multiple threads are sending through same
queue. Switch to use per-thread generator (no lock involved).

Fixes: 66ccbc9c87c2 ("tap: use build_skb() for small packet")
