Ok, thanks!

PS. If you think it's possible to create a repro (userland code) which
can trigger this, I can give it a try.

Did by accident trinity create tunnels? It looks that upper layer
protocols (except SCTP) all allocate and reserve MAX_HEADER to
accommodate enough head room in worst case for possible tunnels.

Thanks for the report!

On a first view, it looks like we should be using MAX_HEADER instead
of LL_MAX_HEADER here, could you try with the following patch:
