Shouldn't be caused by this - but this might be another way to trigger the 
problem. The problem would be visible even without it when a mtu is explicitly 
set. But the reproducer is not available so I can't actually check what is 
going on.

You are refering to the size calculated by 
batadv_tt_local_table_transmit_size(), right? And yes, I would agree that it 
looks suspicious and might not have been correctly integrated in 
batadv_max_header_len() when commit a19d3d85e1b8 ("batman-adv: limit local 
translation table max size") introduced the code. But I think we also need to 
remove interfaces again when receiving NETDEV_CHANGEMTU and an interface is 
not having the correctly sized anymore. So have to check how to do this the 
best way.

Kind regards,
