Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-02-16 23:57:27 +0000 Commit: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-02-20 16:25:55 +0000 LinuxKPI: 802.11: disable ic_headroom for the moment There is a problem with some drivers, such as rtw88, asking for more headroom than we currently can handle throughout the stack (we have other legacy wireless driver in the tree with similar problems). This may trigger an assertion in the TCP syncache where we are checking for a reply to fit in MHLEN. While for the moment we still copy data from mbufs to skbs, we can simply disable the extra headroom request in ic_headroom and deal with it ourselves (which we already did anyway). Leave a link to the thread on freebsd-transport detailing more of the problem so we can find it again and solve it here or there.
