Hi,

I have few basic question regarding headroom and tailroom in skb.

1. At time of skb allocation sk->sk_prot->max_header value is  272 .
If we add tcp header+ip header+mac header  outcome  will always less
than 272 .Then why allocate more ? Is it for future case ?

2. Why space left in headroom and tailroom ?

Regards
Varun
