Prev: [PATCH 0/7] tcp: bugs and cleanup updated to 2.6.33-rc8 (again)
Next: [PATCH v3 1/7] net: tcp_header_len_th and tcp_option_len_th
From: William Allen Simpson on 15 Feb 2010 07:30
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.

Removes redundant tcp header length checks before checksumming.

Instead, assumes (and documents) that any backlog processing and
transform policies will carefully preserve the header, and will
ensure the socket buffer length remains >= the header size.

Stand-alone patch, originally developed for TCPCT.
