There's no reason why they should overlap in the cb: it's 48 bytes big, so big enough to hold both struct br_input_skb_cb and struct inet_skb_parm.

No reason, aside from the math, I think. Those 48 bytes appear to be used for 16 bytes of ip_options plus up to 40 bytes of options data, so we're using pretend-space; of which we'd need more to squeeze br_input_skb_cb in at the same time.

I hate opening a second can of worms, but, if I read this right, IPCB is quite, quite broken.


As for your other remark: as I've said before, if you don't like bridge-netfilter then don't compile it into your kernel.

That's not very helpful. I could say, with just as much merit, that it should be marked deprecated (so that it's not compiled into distribution kernels) and you can compile it into yours.

What I dislike is that bridge-netfilter is faulty.
