That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211\nreserves hw->extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through\nieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it.

Reproduced on a Raspberry Pi 5 bridging\nonboard ethernet to a Netgear A9000; originally reported on an MT7986\nrouter running OpenWrt. Nick Morrow's testing on a Pi 4 (bcmgenet),\nwhich leaves more headroom, helped narrow the trigger to the ingress\npath.\n\nThe same bug was fixed on mt7921 by commit 98c4d0abf5c4 (\"mt76:\nmt7921: don't assume adequate headroom for SDIO headers\"), but mt7925\nwas copied from mt7921 without the fix.
