From e7c38157c61649e66f853d7b9f109119b8361448 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:01:26 -0700 Subject: ipv6: Make IP6CB(skb)->nhoff 16-bit. Even with jumbograms I cannot see any way in which we would need to records a larger than 65535 valued next-header offset. The maximum extension header length is (256 << 3) == 2048. There are only a handful of extension headers specified which we'd even accept (say 5 or 6), therefore the largest next-header offset we'd ever have to contend with is something less than say 16k. Therefore make it a u16 instead of a u32. Signed-off-by: David S.
