Subject: [PATCH 0/3] net: propagate dynamic needed_headroom/tailroom
 changes

Hi all,

This patchset aims at allowing dynamically changing a given device
needed_headroom/tailroom space and propagating such events to stacked
devices such as bridges and vlans.

Unless callers use the new helpers (dev_set_headroom/dev_set_tailroom)
there is no functional change introduced.

I tested this with an out of tree Ethernet driver with both VLANs and
bridges and the need for a 64-byte headroom to insert a transmit
status descriptor in front of a SKB.

Since I am not familiar with all subsystems/drivers changing the
needed_headroom/tailroom requirements, I would leave that to them.

Florian Fainelli (3):
  net: add a new NETDEV_CHANGEROOM event type
  net: vlan: handle NETDEV_CHANGEROOM events
  net: bridge: handle NETDEV_CHANGEROOM event
