Subject: [can-next v2 5/5] can: gw: use new can_gw_hops variable instead of re-using csum_start
Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 14:28:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260117132824.3649-6-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260117132824.3649-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net>
As CAN skbs don't use IP checksums the skb->csum_start variable was used
to store the can-gw CAN frame time-to-live counter together with
skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
As we still have 16 bit left in the inner protocol space for ethernet/IP
encapsulation the time-to-live counter is moved there to remove the 'hack'
using the skb->csum_start variable. This patch solves the problem that the
CAN information was scattered in different places in the skb.
Patch 5/5 to remove the private CAN bus skb headroom infrastructure.
