Subject: Re: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v4 3/3] TCPCT part 1c: initial SYN exchange
 with SYNACK data

Another style question:

+struct tcp_extend_values {
+	u8				cookie_bakery[TCP_COOKIE_MAX];
+	u8				cookie_plus;
+	u8				cookie_in_always:1,
+					cookie_out_never:1;
+};
+
+static inline struct tcp_extend_values *tcp_xv(const struct request_values *rvp)
+{
+	return (struct tcp_extend_values *)rvp;
+}

Some examples have "struct request_values" as the first element, others
don't.  I started with it, and then removed it (as essentially nil).

Is there a preference?
