[ovs-dev] [PATCH net-next v5 1/2] net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff

[Simon Horman]

In order to mitigate ongoing incresase in the size of struct skbuff
use 16 bit integer offsets rather than pointers for inner_*_headers.

This appears to reduce the size of struct skbuff from 0xd0 to 0xc0
bytes on x86_64 with the following all unset.

	CONFIG_XFRM
	CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK
	CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MODULE
	NET_SKBUFF_NF_DEFRAG_NEEDED
	CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER
	CONFIG_NET_SCHED
	CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE
	CONFIG_NET_DMA
	CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK
