The batadv net_device is trying to propagate the needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from the lower devices. This is needed to avoid cost intensive reallocations using pskb_expand_head during the transmission.
But the fragmentation code splitted the skb's without adding extra room at the end/beginning of the various fragments. This reduced the performance of transmissions over complex scenarios (batadv on vxlan on wireguard) because the lower devices had to perform the reallocations at least once.
