From: Sven Eckelmann <s...@narfation.org>
commit c5cbfc87558168ef4c3c27ce36eba6b83391db19 upstream.
The batadv net_device is trying to propagate the needed_headroom and
needed_tailroom from the lower devices. This is needed to avoid cost
intensive reallocations using pskb_expand_head during the transmission.
But the fragmentation code split the skb's without adding extra room at the
end/beginning of the various fragments. This reduced the performance of
transmissions over complex scenarios (batadv on vxlan on wireguard) because
the lower devices had to perform the reallocations at least once.
Fixes: ee75ed88879a ("batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu")
