   Which one do I have to dump? skb->h.raw or skb->nh.raw? I guess
   skb->nh.iph->tot_len bytes at skb->nh.raw?

Look at what the code next to the printk is verifying:

		skb->csum = csum_partial((char *)th, len, 0);
		if (tcp_v4_check(th,len,skb->nh.iph->saddr,skb->nh.iph->daddr,skb->csum))

So you need all the bytes from 'th' to 'th + len'.  You also need the
values of the source and destination addresses from the IP header (at
skb->nh.iph->{saddr,daddr}).

Good luck.
