There is a point where I'm wrong in my last reply :

i use int because of arithmetics :
off_max = po->tx_ring.frame_size - tp_len;

If the user give a bad tp_len (> po->tx_ring.frame_size), with unsigned 
we will probably miss the check that follow :

if (unlikely((off < off_min) || (off_max < off)))
