Re: [linux-nfc] [PATCH 2/2] NFC: Correct outgoing frame before requeueing

Hi Eric,

BTW I see the headroom for pn544 is 2 but it make use of 1 byte (len).
Is that correct?

That question made me go back to have a closer look. With shdlc
currently adding the len and crc, there would be no reason for the
driver to request any headroom. If you look at the comment above
PN544_CMDS_HEADROOM, it says "Largest headroom needed for outgoing
custom commands". The headroom it requests it not for len, it is used by
the driver to insert special bytes when handling a
pn544_hci_data_exchange for a reader F gate, which is a special case.

That makes sense. I guess in 1/2 patch PN544_CMDS_HEADROOM should be 3 () now. Will fix that.

I didn't remember that when I wrote the previous answer, and this
defeats my second suggestion. I suggest we go with my first suggestion:

- Specify that the driver xmit MUST NOT modify skb. It shall remove
anything it inserts or appends before returning from xmit.

It sounds sane.

Thanks,
/Waldek
