Hey, I already mentioned where was the bug.

You missed the investigation where I pointed it to FLorian ?

Well, sure, we could add safety checks everywhere and slow the kernel
when debugging is requested.

But skb_network_offset() is not the problem here. Why are you focusing
on it ?

The real problem is in __skb_pull() or __skb_push() and all similar
helpers. Lots of added checks and slowdowns.
