3.2.99-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ed82c437320c48a4032492f4a55a7e2c934158b6 upstream. In (bc6bcb5 netfilter: xt_TCPOPTSTRIP: fix possible mangling beyond packet boundary), the use of tcp_hdr was introduced. However, we cannot assume that skb->transport_header is set for non-local packets.
