The check (headroom > skb_headroom(skb)) is meant to ensure\nthat delta = headroom - skb_headroom(skb) is never negative, otherwise\nwe will trigger a BUG_ON in pskb_expand_head(). However, if\nheadroom > INT_MAX and delta <= -NET_SKB_PAD, the check passes, delta\nbecomes negative, and pskb_expand_head() is passed a negative value for\nnhead.\n\nFix the trigger condition in calipso_skbuff_setattr(). Avoid passing\n\"negative\" headroom sizes to skb_cow() within calipso_skbuff_setattr()\nby only using skb_cow() to grow headroom.\n\nPoC:\n\tUsing `netlabelctl` tool:\n\n netlabelctl map del
