[PATCH v5 3/7] tcp: harmonize tcp_vx_rcv header length assumptions
Harmonize tcp_v4_rcv() and tcp_v6_rcv() -- better document tcp doff and header length assumptions, and carefully compare implementations. Reduces multiply/shifts, marginally improving speed.

[1/4] SLAB: Handle node-not-up case in fallback_alloc() v2
