[PATCH net-next v1 1/4] net: netmem: fix skb_ensure_writable with unreadable skbs

From: Mina Almasry
Date: Fri Jun 13 2025 - 00:28:32 EST


skb_ensure_writable actually makes sure that the header of the skb is
writable, and doesn't touch the payload. It doesn't need an
skb_frags_readable check.

Removing this check restores DSCP functionality with unreadable skbs as
it's called from dscp_tg.

Fixes: 65249feb6b3d ("net: add support for skbs with unreadable frags")
