Its better to inline your patches so that we can comment them, without copy/paste

When I hit 'reply to', my mailer only quoted the ChangeLog, not the patch.

Anyway ..

+/* Length of standard options only.  This could be negative. */
+static inline int tcp_option_len_th(const struct tcphdr *th)
+{
+	return (int)(th->doff * 4) - sizeof(*th);
+}


The (int) cast is not necessary, since the function returns a signed int

->
	return th->doff * 4 - sizeof(*th);
