It copies sizeof(skb->cb) bytes with memcpy which is 48 bytes since cb
is a 48 byte char array in `struct sk_buff`. The source buffer is a
`struct rxe_pkt_info`:

struct rxe_pkt_info {
	struct rxe_dev		*rxe;		/* device that owns packet */
	struct rxe_qp		*qp;		/* qp that owns packet */
	struct rxe_send_wqe	*wqe;		/* send wqe */
	u8			*hdr;		/* points to bth */
	u32			mask;		/* useful info about pkt */
	u32			psn;		/* bth psn of packet */
	u16			pkey_index;	/* partition of pkt */
	u16			paylen;		/* length of bth - icrc */
	u8			port_num;	/* port pkt received on */
	u8			opcode;		/* bth opcode of packet */
	u8			offset;		/* bth offset from pkt->hdr */
};

That looks like 32 bytes (1 byte of padding) on 32-bit and 48 bytes on
64-bit (1 byte of padding), so on 32-bit there's a read overflow of 16
bytes from the stack here.
