Hi Eri,

Thanks for your suggestion, u8 may not enough when the packet have a lot of exthdr.

At the beginning of ip6_fragment func, the prevhdr pointer is
obtained in the ip6_find_1stfragopt func.
However, all the pointers pointing into skb header may change
when calling skb_checksum_help func with
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_PARTIAL condition.
The prevhdr pointe will be dangling if it is not reloaded after
calling __skb_linearize func in skb_checksum_help func.

Here, I add a variable, nexthdr_offset, to evaluate the offset,
which does not changes even after calling __skb_linearize func.

Why u8 here ?

I would use "unsigned int" really.
