Definitely not in tcp.h. It has quite a lot of very long functions, of
which very few really need to be inline: (AFAIK the only one where 
it makes really sense is tcp_set_state due to constant evaluation; 
although I never quite understood why the callers just didn't 
call explicit functions to do these actions) 

% awk '  { line++ } ; /^{/ { start = line } ; /^}/ { n++; r += line-start-2; } ; END { print r/n }' < include/net/tcp.h 
9.48889

The average function length is 9 lines.
