`ip_hdr(skb)->ihl << 2` are the same as `ip_hdrlen(skb)`
Therefore, we should use a well-defined function not a bit shift
to find the header length.

It also compress two lines at a single line.

The extra () around "ip_hdrlen(skb)" can be remove.
Also maybe the ones around "ETH_HLEN + ip_hdrlen(skb)" could also be 
removed.

Same here, the extra () around "ip_hdrlen(skb)" can be remove.

Firstly, I think this clean-up is both correct and safe.  Safe because
ip_hdrlen() only relies on ip_hdr(), which is already used in the same code
path. And correct because ip_hdrlen multiplies ihl by 4, which is clearly
equivalent to a left shift of 2 bits.

However, I do wonder about the value of clean-ups for what appears to be a
very old driver, which hasn't received a new feature for quite sometime

And further, I wonder if we should update this driver from "Maintained" to
"Odd Fixes" as the maintainer, "Guo-Fu Tseng" <cooldavid@cooldavid.org>,
doesn't seem to have been seen by lore since early 2020.

The parentheses around the call to ip_hdrlen are unnecessary.
And this line is now too long: networking codes till prefers
code to be 80 columns wide or less.

Unnecessary parentheses here too.

By "Odd Fixes" I meant "Orphan"

Okay, I'll send the next patch which the parenthesis are removed!
But... The parenthesis around `ETH_HLEN + ip_hdrlen(skb) +
sizeof(struct udphdr)`
should be retained, because it makes a clear boundary.

Then, how about deleting the file from the kernel if the driver isn't
maintained?
Many people think like that (At least I think so)
There are files, and if there are issues, then have to fix them.
Who can think unmanaged files remain in the kernel?

Thank you for paying attention to my patch! I'm a beginner who just
came to the kernel.
So... Sorry if I sounded presumptuous and didn't know much about kernels.
But I don't understand why we have to pay attention to unmanaged kernel files.
And why do we have to check whether the file is managed or not?

Thank you for reading my email ^오^

remove unnecessary parentheses surrounding `ip_hdrlen()`,
And keep it under 80 columns long to follow the kernel coding style.

Hi,

this is not how things work.
This v2 depends on the previous v1. It shouldn't.

v2 should be a standalone patch which includes v1 and all modifications 
done afterward.


When you send a new patch you should:
   - give an history of changes, below the ---. See [1]
   - eventually give links to previous version
   - your new version should not be threaded with the previous mails. It 
should start a new thread.

[1]: here.

*As an example*, I would have done as follow, but there is no rule 
(AFAIK) for this section.


Changes in v2:
   - Remove extra ()   [Christophe Jaillet, Simon Horman]
   - Break long lines   [Simon Horman]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240802054421.5428-1-yyyynoom@gmail.com/
