Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: set needed_headroom, not hard_header_len
Git-commit: 9454f7a895b822dd8fb4588fc55fda7c96728869
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
References: bsc#1051510
hard_header_len provides limitations for things like AF_PACKET, such
that we don't allow transmitting packets smaller than this.
needed_headroom provides a suggested minimum headroom for SKBs, so that
we can trivally add our headers to the front.
The latter is the correct field to use in this case, while the former
mostly just prevents sending small AF_PACKET frames.
In any case, mwifiex already does its own bounce buffering [1] if we
don't have enough headroom, so hints (not hard limits) are all that are
needed.
This is the essentially the same bug (and fix) that brcmfmac had, fixed
in commit cb39288fd6bb ("brcmfmac: use ndev->needed_headroom to reserve
additional header space").
[1] mwifiex_hard_start_xmit():
if (skb_headroom(skb) < MWIFIEX_MIN_DATA_HEADER_LEN) {
[...]
/* Insufficient skb headroom - allocate a new skb */
