Unless you have an absolutely requirement on inlining (if uninlined,
the compilation would break), you must not use the __always_inline
keyword and you must let the compiler decide what to do.

Said another way: "The code isn't optimal with my compiler on my computer
unless I force inline this" is not a valid reason to use __always_inline

And for this reason we never use __inline in foo.c files, always let the
compiler decide.

This applies to your entire submission.
+		((u64 *)dst)[0] = be64_to_cpu(((const __be64 *)src)[0]);
+		((u64 *)dst)[1] = be64_to_cpu(((const __be64 *)src)[1]);
Are 'dst' and 'src' both 64-bit aligned?  If not you'll get traps on some cpus.

+		skb->next = NULL;
Why?  Direct ->next and ->prev pointer accesses should never be used,
along with anything that assumes what the implentation of skb lists
looks like.

Always use the helpers instead.

No way.

Do not invent your own hashtables, we have several generic versions in
tree and in particular rhashtable.

If the generic kernel facilities have a weakness, fix that instead of
rolling an entire new hashtable implementation.
