[net-next,v2,1/2] IPv6/GRO: generic helper to remove temporary HBH/jumbo header in driver
Commit Message
IPv6/TCP and GRO stacks can build big TCP packets with an added
temporary Hop By Hop header.
Is GSO is not involved, then the temporary header needs to be removed in
the driver. This patch provides a generic helper for drivers that need
to modify their headers in place.

Hello,
Only a couple of minor things below, reporting them as this is still a
RFC, right ? ;)

You can help a bit the compiler avoiding err initialization:
int err;
if (!nexthdr)
return 0;

The have could be:
skb_mac_header_len(skb)
which is IMHO a little more clear.
Thanks!

I thinks it's relatively small and inlineable enough to not make it
an external function, right? I'd keep it inline just how the author
does it, the compiler then will decide.

Same with the end of the function, @err is unused after
skb_cow_head() and always equal 0, so the end return could be just
`return 0`.
