The existing code always pulls the IPv6 header and sets the transport offset initially. Then optionally again pulls any extension headers in ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs and sets the transport offset again on return from that call. skb->data is set at the start of the first extension header before calling ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs, and must disable the frag0 optimization because that function uses pskb_may_pull/pskb_pull instead of skb_gro_ helpers. It sets the GRO offset to the TCP header with skb_gro_pull and sets the transport header. Then returns skb->data to its position before this block. This commit introduces a new helper function - ipv6_gro_pull_exthdrs - which is used in ipv6_gro_receive to pull ipv6 ext headers instead of ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs. Thus, there is no modification of skb->data, all operations use skb_gro_* helpers, and the frag0 fast path can be taken for IPv6 packets with ext headers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
