In rmnet_map_ipv4_ul_csum_header() and rmnet_map_ipv6_ul_csum_header()
the offset within a packet at which checksumming should commence is
calculated.  This calculation involves byte swapping and a forced type
conversion that makes it hard to understand.

Simplify this by computing the offset in host byte order, then
converting the result when assigning it into the header field.

Just curious, why does this require a __force, or even a cast?


Regardless, your proposed way of writing it is easier to read.

The argument to htons() has type __u16.  In this case it
is passed the difference between pointers, which will
have type ptrdiff_t, which is certainly bigger than
16 bits.  I don't think the __force is needed, but the
cast to u16 might just be making the conversion to the
smaller type explicit.  Here too though, I don't think
it's necessary.
