Subject: [PATCH] include/linux/skbuff.h: using '0xffff' instead of '~0U'


Both 'transport_header' and 'mac_header' are u16, which are never equal
to '~0U'.

So need use '0xffff' instead of '~0U'.

The related warning (with EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=m68k for allmodconfig)
  include/linux/skbuff.h:1587:2: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
  ...
