net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
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
