The parentheses and indentation were misleading actually, here is how it
should actually looks like:

> > +	                                         + sizeof(struct tcphdr));

I've now dropped the parentheses, so it looks like the tcp_output.c code:

	m->m_data -= sizeof(struct tcpiphdr) - sizeof(struct ip)
	                                     - sizeof(struct tcphdr);
