From b2936b4fd56294e49d6c8e9152ea6c4982757c7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alice Mikityanska Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 15:39:14 +0200 Subject: net/ipv6: Introduce payload_len helpers The next commits will transition away from using the hop-by-hop extension header to encode packet length for BIG TCP. Add wrappers around ip6->payload_len that return the actual value if it's non-zero, and calculate it from skb->len if payload_len is set to zero (and a symmetrical setter). The new helpers are used wherever the surrounding code supports the hop-by-hop jumbo header for BIG TCP IPv6, or the corresponding IPv4 code uses skb_ip_totlen (e.g., in include/net/netfilter/nf_tables_ipv6.h). No behavioral change in this commit.
