Re: [PATCH 001/001] QoS and/or fair queueing: Stateless NAT BUG

Hi all,
I have been testing Stateless NAT and found that ICMP packets with length
less than 20 bytes were not correctly NAT'ed. I have found a BUG that
makes taking into account IP header length twice, so ICMP packets smaller
than 20 bytes were being dropped.

Proposed formal patch is below, as suggested by Eric Dumazet, thanks.
It is taken from 2.6.34.1 stable version.
