Hmm. Big warning here : In the nfnetlink case, we specifically made sure
that this path was taken only if skb->head_frag was set (all incoming
packets have this property, but not outgoing ones yet)
This should be documented if we move it to net/core/skbuff.c, or we
should add a BUG_ON()
I see your openvswitch code seems OK.
Maybe also put in net/core/skbuff.c the code dealing with this stuff ?
+ if (!skb->head_frag ||
+ skb_headlen(skb) < L1_CACHE_BYTES ||
+ skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags >= MAX_SKB_FRAGS)
+ hlen = skb_headlen(skb);
+
+ if (skb_has_frag_list(skb))
+ hlen = skb->len;
