This is not an area of the kernel i'm very familiar with. But i'm wondering, is this a BATMAN specific problem, or a generic problem? Should the fix be in BATMAN, or the core?
I understand what you mean. But let me cite two places which required to operate on parts of the frag lists:
/* If we need update frag list, we are in troubles. * Certainly, it is possible to add an offset to skb data, * but taking into account that pulling is expected to * be very rare operation, it is worth to fight against * further bloating skb head and crucify ourselves here instead. * Pure masohism, indeed. 8)8) */
/* Misery. We are in troubles, going to mincer fragments... */
And since I cannot reproduce this here at the moment, I've decided not to start with that.
Kind regards, Sven
