At the moment, taggers are left with the task of ensuring that the skb headers are writable (which they aren't, if the frames were cloned for TX timestamping, for flooding by the bridge, etc), and that there is enough space in the skb data area for the DSA tag to be pushed. Moreover, the life of tail taggers is even harder, because they need to ensure that short frames have enough padding, a problem that normal taggers don't have. The principle of the DSA framework is that everything except for the most intimate hardware specifics (like in this case, the actual packing of the DSA tag bits) should be done inside the core, to avoid having code paths that are very rarely tested. So provide a TX reallocation procedure that should cover the known needs of DSA today. Note that this patch also gives the network stack a good hint about the headroom/tailroom it's going to need. Up till now it wasn't doing that. So the reallocation procedure should really be there only for the exceptional cases, and for cloned packets which need to be unshared.

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.
