Re: [PATCH 1/2] net: tcp_header_len_th and tcp_option_len_th

[William Allen Simpson]

Redefine two TCP header functions to accept TCP header pointer.
When subtracting, return signed int to allow error checking.

These functions will be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.
