The ipv6_rpl_srh_size() is used to check a skb_pull() on skb->data which points to skb_transport_header(). Currently we only check on the calculated addresses fields using CmprI and CmprE fields, see: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6554#section-3 there is however a missing 8 byte inside the calculation which stands for the fields before the addresses field. Those 8 bytes are represented by sizeof(struct ipv6_rpl_sr_hdr) expression.
