Re: [PATCH] macvlan: inherit needed_headroom/needed_tailroom from lower device

[Mohammed Hashil M]

Hi,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. That was not my intention.

I worked on this change a few weeks ago as part of my work while investigating the macvlan code. Since this was going to be my first Linux kernel contribution, I ended up holding onto the patch longer than I should have because I was unfamiliar with the submission process.

When I finally sent it, I wasn't aware of the discussion from earlier that day. My patch was not based on that discussion, and I certainly wasn't trying to claim ownership of anyone else's work or discoveries.

I understand that, given the timing, it could have appeared that way, and I apologize for creating that impression.

Thank you for pointing it out. I'll be more careful in the future to check for ongoing discussions before submitting a patch.

Regards,
Mohammed Hashil M
