[PATCH net] drivers/net/wan/x25_asy: Added needed_headroom and a skb->len check

From: Xie He
Date: Sat Aug 08 2020 - 22:36:25 EST


1. Added a skb->len check

This driver expects upper layers to include a pseudo header of 1 byte
when passing down a skb for transmission. This driver will read this
1-byte header. This patch added a skb->len check before reading the
header to make sure the header exists.

2. Added needed_headroom

When this driver transmits data,
first this driver will remove a pseudo header of 1 byte,
then the lapb module will prepend the LAPB header of 2 or 3 bytes.
So the value of needed_headroom in this driver should be 3 - 1.
