If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka commit cfd9167af14eb4ec21517a32911d460083ee3d59 upstream. RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if header length is not multiple of 4. For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but such alignment is not needed on modern H/W. Patch fixes skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84911 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471 http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139108549530402&w=2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591 Panic happened because we eat 4 bytes of skb headroom on each (re)transmission when sending frame without the payload and the header length not being multiple of 4 (i.e. QoS header has 26 bytes). On such case because paylad_aling=2 is bigger than header_align=0 we increase header_align by 4 bytes. To prevent that we could change the check to: if (payload_length && payload_align > header_align) header_align += 4; but not aligning payload at all is more effective and alignment is not really needed by H/W (that has been tested on OpenWrt project for few years now).
