Re: mac80211 truesize bugs

Ideally, we'd have enough headroom in the skb to start with, since right
now we're apparently reallocating a lot, especially encrypted frames.
Not that I understand why we don't get a truesize bug (without the
monitors) when we do that.
Hmm. I wonder if the reason might be that the skb itself is long enough,
but has so much tailroom that it doesn't have enough headroom, but when
we reallocate it to have more headroom we actually later don't use the
extra tailroom. That would explain why I don't get truesize bugs
although I do get a warning (from the modified pskb_expand_head()) that
I mustn't reallocate the buffer.
