Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: ensure that management tx skbs have encryption
tailroom
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. This can lead to passing skbs to ccmp_encrypt_skb, which
don't have the needed tailroom for software encryption.
Change the code to add tailroom for encrypted management packets, even if
crypto_tx_tailroom_needed_cnt is 0.
