Currently, if the socket is owned by the user, we drop the ICMP
message.  As a result SCTP forgets that path MTU changed and
never adjusting it's estimate.  This causes all subsequent
packets to be fragmented.  With this patch, we'll flag the association
that it needs to udpate it's estimate based on the already updated
routing information.

When a transmitted packet is looped back directly, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
maps to the semantics of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.  Therefore we should
treat it as such in the stack.

<title>[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb-&gt;tail to sk_buff_data_t</title>

So that it is also an offset from skb-&gt;head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb-&gt;{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

<title>[SK_BUFF]: Use offsets for skb-&gt;{mac,network,transport}_header on 64bit architectures</title>

With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used
in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers,
such as -&gt;{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the
usual practice of setting skb-&gt;{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then
accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than
before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one
of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding
to/from it, comparing them, etc.

Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine:

On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler
turning all this abstraction layer into dust. But there are some sk_buff
validation tricks that are now possible, humm... :-)
