    net: dsa: generalize overhead for taggers that use both headers and trailers · 4e500251
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    Some really really weird switches just couldn't decide whether to use a
    normal or a tail tagger, so they just did both.
    
    This creates problems for DSA, because we only have the concept of an
    'overhead' which can be applied to the headroom or to the tailroom of
    the skb (like for example during the central TX reallocation procedure),
    depending on the value of bool tail_tag, but not to both.
    
    We need to generalize DSA to cater for these odd switches by
    transforming the 'overhead / tail_tag' pair into 'needed_headroom /
    needed_tailroom'.
    
    The DSA master's MTU is increased to account for both.
    
    The flow dissector code is modified such that it only calls the DSA
    adjustment callback if the tagger has a non-zero header length.
    
    Taggers are trivially modified to declare either needed_headroom or
    needed_tailroom, based on the tail_tag value that they currently
    declare.
