So you guys spent an enormous amount of time trying to figure out
why just a plain '__pskb_pull_tail(skb, min(len, VLAN_ETH_HLEN));'
doesn't work.

Don't you think the full details of your discovery might be relevant
either in the commit message or a comment?

Otherwise, how is anyone else in the world going to figure out why you
had to do these frag list adjustments?
