Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/2] l2tp: unify headroom calculation
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 02:21:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730002107.447471-2-mail@david-bauer.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730002107.447471-1-mail@david-bauer.net>

Unify the calculation to determine the required headroom for each skb.
This was previously done inconsistently, resulting requesting more space
in the skb headroom when crafting the L2TP header than indicated with
needed_headroom.
