- Subject: [PATCH 3/7] skb_reduce_truesize: helper function for shrinking skbs
- whenever needed
- On embedded devices in particular, large queues of small packets from the rx
- path with a large truesize can exist. Reducing their size can reduce
- memory pressure. skb_reduce_truesize is a helper function for doing this,
- when needed.
