From: Sven Eckelmann commit 4ca23e2c2074465bff55ea14221175fecdf63c5f upstream. If a batman-adv packets has to be fragmented, then the original batman-adv packet header is not stripped away. Instead, only a new header is added in front of the packet after it was split. This size must be considered to avoid cost intensive reallocations during the transmission through the various device layers.
