From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2020 18:24:49 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Don't always reallocate the fragmentation skb head When a packet is fragmented by batman-adv, the original batman-adv header is not modified. Only a new fragmentation is inserted between the original one and the ethernet header. The code must therefore make sure that it has a writable region of this size in the skbuff head. But it is not useful to always reallocate the skbuff by this size even when there would be more than enough headroom still in the skb. The reallocation is just to costly during in this codepath.
