When sending packet to destination that was not resolved yet
via path query, the driver keeps the skb and tries to re-send it
again when the path is resolved.
But when re-sending via dev_queue_xmit the kernel doesn't call
to dev_hard_header, so IPoIB needs to keep 20 bytes in the skb
and to put the destination address inside them.
In that way the dev_start_xmit will have the correct destination,
and the driver won't take the destination from the skb->data, while
nothing exists there, which causes to packet be be dropped.
The test flow is:
1. Run the SM on remote node,
2. Restart the driver.
4. Ping some destination,
3. Observe that first ICMP request will be dropped.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
