With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used
in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers,
such as ->{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the
usual practice of setting skb->{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then
accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than
before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one
of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding
to/from it, comparing them, etc.
Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine:
[acme@mica net-2.6.22]$ pahole vmlinux sk_buff
struct sk_buff {
struct sk_buff * next; /* 0 8 */

}; /* size: 264, cachelines: 5 */
/* sum members: 260, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 2 bits */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler
turning all this abstraction layer into dust. But there are some sk_buff
validation tricks that are now possible, humm... :-)

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and

For the common sequence "skb->h.raw - skb->nh.raw", similar to skb->mac_len,
that is precalculated tho, don't think we need to bloat skb with one more
member, so just use this new helper, reducing the number of non-skbuff.h
references to the layer headers even more.

This time we have to set it to skb->tail that is not anymore equal to
skb->data, so we either add a new helper or just add the skb->tail - skb->data
offset, for now do the later.

For the places where we need a pointer to the transport header, it is

These are a bit more subtle, they are of this type:
- skb->h.raw = payload;
__skb_pull(skb, payload - skb->data);
+ skb_reset_transport_header(skb);
__skb_pull results in:
skb->data = skb->data + payload - skb->data;
skb->data = payload;
So after __skb_pull we have skb->data pointing to payload and we can
just call skb_reset_transport_header(skb), that will do:
skb->h.raw = payload;
The others are similar, allowing us to get rid of some more cases where a
pointer was being attributed to the layer headers.

The ip_hdrlen() buddy, created to reduce the number of skb->h.th-> uses and to
avoid the longer, open coded equivalent.
Ditched a no-op in bnx2 in the process.
I wonder if we should have a BUG_ON(skb->h.th->doff < 5) in tcp_optlen()...

For the common, open coded 'skb->h.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->h.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple cases:
skb->h.raw = skb->data;
skb->h.raw = {skb_push|[__]skb_pull}()
The next ones will handle the slightly more "complex" cases.

Now the skb->nh union has just one member, .raw, i.e. it is just like the
skb->mac union, strange, no? I'm just leaving it like that till the transport
layer is done with, when we'll rename skb->mac.raw to skb->mac_header (or
->mac_header_offset?), ditto for ->{h,nh}.

For the common sequence "skb->nh.iph->ihl * 4", removing a good number of open
coded skb->nh.iph uses, now to go after the rest...
Just out of curiosity, here are the idioms found to get the same result:
skb->nh.iph->ihl << 2
skb->nh.iph->ihl<<2
skb->nh.iph->ihl * 4
skb->nh.iph->ihl*4
(skb->nh.iph)->ihl * sizeof(u32)
