True.

Right, but that's the *pad*. I was thinking about the header conversion.
Let's say you decided to add the second frame to the A-MSDU, at which
point the first one isn't really an A-MSDU yet. So we get to:
if (!ieee80211_amsdu_prepare_head(sdata, fast_tx, head))
which changes the header of "head" to be 14 bytes longer:
skb_push(skb, sizeof(*amsdu_hdr));
But now let's say we get a failure here when reallocating the second
subframe:
if (!ieee80211_amsdu_realloc_pad(local, skb, sizeof(rfc1042_header) +
2 + pad))
goto out;
Now we have changed "head", which is on the FQ, but we haven't changed
the FQ accounting. So I *think* we still need this:

Hmm, not sure I follow? "head" is the A-MSDU, containing the A-MSDU
header and the first subframe in skb->data (and/or frags), with the
subframes 2..N in the fraglist.
So I think this is right?
