Re: [PATCH linux-wpan] 6lowpan: ensure header compression does not corrupt ipv6 header

Hi Simon,

I am missing a proper commit message with explanation here. One-line subject online commit message are really only ever acceptable if it is a dead trivial fix. And even then I prefer a proper commit message with detailed explanation what the patch changes and why.

I do not like short_ as field name. I know why you are doing this, but why bother. You always access via u.short anyway. Then again, it seems it is not used at all.

If you do not need the union declaration by itself then you can just add it into the struct directly. No need for these extra _u declaration.

This is not a good comment. Explain why since especially only extended addresses are supported, I have no idea on why we are adding all these struct addition in the first place.

Now I wonder why this has not yet been answered and you are in the need of copying around. Maybe this should have been addressed by now.
