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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
