Trying to split and transmit a unicast packet in 16 parts will fail for
the final fragment: After having sent the 15th one with a frag_packet.no
index of 14, we will increase the the index to 15 - and return with an
error code immediately, even though one more fragment is due for
transmission and allowed.
Fixing this issue by moving the check before incrementing the index.
While at it, adding an unlikely(), because the check is actually more of
an assertion.

And one more thing which seems fishy to me in this function:

527 if (batadv_skb_head_push(skb, header_size) < 0 ||

For the pskb_expand_head() case, there is an skb_push(header_size) missing,
isn't it?

Seems to make sense. But have to talk with Simon how he wants to proceed
with the maint branch regarding the net.git submissions. And we should
add The fixes line before committing.
Fixes: db56e4ecf5c2 ("batman-adv: Fragment and send skbs larger than mtu")

I am a little bit confused about your remark... and about the code.
So let's check what Martin wrote:
* get header_size more room in our data section
* allocate new buffer to get header_size + ETH_HLEN in front (but not part)
of our data section
If one of these two fails then it will get in panic mode and leave the
function.
I agree that the header_size in pskb_expand_head is slightly odd and I don't
see why we would need it. My best guess would be to compensate the extra
header which "stole" some bytes from the headroom which the underlying
interface may need.
But more importantly, I don't understand why an extra skb_push(header_size)
(like you've suggested) would be necessary here. Why would you want to have an
empty header_size region in the fragment between the actual header and the
fragment data?
Kind regards,
Sven

Aiy, I'm sorry, misread that, you are right. Forget my remark.
