Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: remove some skb_mac_header assumptions

Historically, we tried o maintain skb_mac_header available in most of
networking paths.

When reaching ndo_start_xmit() handlers, skb_mac_header() should always
be skb->data.

With recent additions of skb_mac_header_was_set() and 
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() in skb_mac_header(), we can attempt
to remove our reliance on skb_mac_header in TX paths.

When this effort completes we will remove skb_reset_mac_header()
from __dev_queue_xmit() and replace it by
skb_unset_mac_header() on DEBUG_NET builds.

Eric Dumazet (3):
  net: do not use skb_mac_header() in qdisc_pkt_len_init()
  sch_cake: do not use skb_mac_header() in cake_overhead()
  net/sched: remove two skb_mac_header() uses
