Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] [netfilter]: Fix skb->csum calculation when netfilter
 manipulation for NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC\DST is done on IPV6 packet.

Two comestic issues with this patch:

* Patch subject is a bit long, could you rewrite it? Probably:

  net: Fix skb->csum update on inet_proto_csum_replace16()

And describe in the patch description that you trigger this from
netfilter IPv6 and NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC\DST.

* Regarding the comment on top of the function, could you make it fit
  into the 80-chars per column, it is shrinked to less than 70-chars per
  column for some reason. Probably you can just fully document this
  function while including this description, as it happens with other
  functions in this file (this last sentence is a suggestion, not a
  dealbreaker).

BTW, in your description you refer to < 3.16 though, and I I think the
problem manifests since ce25d66ad5f8d92, correct?

Thanks.
