Subject: [PATCH 3.16 081/202] mac80211: ensure that mgmt tx skbs have
 tailroom for encryption

3.16.66-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@....name>

commit 9d0f50b80222dc273e67e4e14410fcfa4130a90c upstream.

Some drivers use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX to indicate that management
frames need to be software encrypted. Since normal data packets are still
encrypted by the hardware, crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt gets decremented
after key upload to hw. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb,
which don't have the necessary tailroom for software encryption.

Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.
