The TCP_SAVE_SYN has both the network header and tcp header. The total length of the saved syn packet is currently stored in the first 4 bytes (u32) of an array and the actual packet data is stored after that. A later patch will add a bpf helper that allows to get the tcp header alone from the saved syn without the network header. It will be more convenient to have a direct offset to a specific header instead of re-parsing it. This requires to separately store the network hdrlen. The total header length (i.e. network + tcp) is still needed for the current usage in getsockopt. Although this total length can be obtained by looking into the tcphdr and then get the (th->doff << 2), this patch chooses to directly store the tcp hdrlen in the second four bytes of this newly created "struct saved_syn". By using a new struct, it can give a readable name to each individual header length.

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.
