[PATCH net 0/2] net: ipv6: seg6: headroom fixes

[Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com>]

Hi netdev,

This patch series fixes issues which I discovered while implementing RPL
source routing for 6LoWPAN interfaces. 6LoWPAN interfaces are using a MTU
of 1280 which is the IPv6 minimum MTU. I suppose this is the right fix to
do that according to my explanation that tunnels which acting before L3
need to set this headroom. So far I see only segmentation route is affected
to it. Maybe BPF tunnels, but it depends on the case... Maybe a comment
need to be added there as well to not getting confused. If wanted I can
send another patch for a comment for net-next or even net? May the
variable should be renamed to l2_headroom?

I splitted this fix in two patches, I only tested the first one and I
think the second one. The second one should fix issues as well.

Open to discuss my patches and if isn't the real fix... how we fix it?

I cc'ed all necessary people and Andrea which seems to have some net-next
patches around who should consider this fix in their new patches.
