With all the patches I posted it now no longer triggers with mac80211
but within netlink, e.g.:

[  152.607800] SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (556) size=560, sizeof(sk_buff)=272

below patch helps debug it, but I can't fix it all right now.

It most likely is a consequence of pskb_expand_head() not updating
truesize and some, but not all, callers doing it. IMHO pskb_expand_head
should do it and those callers that do it be changed to not (afaik it's
afpacket or something and mac80211 now)
