Subject: Re: [PATCH net] drivers/net/wan/lapbether: Added needed_tailroom

Hi Guillaume Nault,

I'm currently trying to fix a driver's "needed_tailroom" setting. This
driver is a virtual driver stacked on top of Ethernet devices (similar
to pppoe). I believe its needed_tailroom setting should take into
account the underlying Ethernet device's needed_tailroom. So I
submitted this patch. I see you previously also did a change related
to needed_tailroom to pppoe. Can you help review this patch? Thank you
so much!

The patch is at:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20200808175251.582781-1-xie.he.0141@gmail.com/

Thanks!
