Right, but only after udp{4,6}_lib_lookup_skb() in certain cases. I don't know for sure if their logic can actually edit skb->data, so it's better to check from my point of view.

Packets from list_head *head have their headers already pulled to skb->data in 100% cases, no need to change anything here. I double-checked that udp_hdr(p) always returns the same pointer as "p->data + network offset" and left it as it is.
