The API says already:

“Operation does not modify packet segmentation or move data. Handles and
pointers remain valid. User is responsible to update packet meta-data
offsets when needed.”

If application modifies packet headers (adds/removes/changes them), it must 
update those offsets that it or some other block after it in the chain cares 
about (reloads from the packet). It may leave some offsets unchanged because it 
knows that those are not needed any more.

Some more words can be added, if the current text is not clear enough. The 
current implementation does not implement the spec. This patch fixes that issue.

Subject: Re: [lng-odp] [PATCH] Remove packet l2/l3/l4 offset adjustments

If we do this we really need a documentation note that says:

Note: After doing a head push/pull, applications cannot use routines like 
odp_packet_l3_ptr(), etc., until they make appropriate  calls to 
odp_packet_l3_offset_set(), etc., to reflect the previous operation. Otherwise 
they will receive pointers to incorrect areas of the packet.

Packet head push/pull calls do not automatically adjust
metadata offsets, only data pointer and headroom.
