Do you ever look at actual return value except whether it's zero or not? 
Both here and in the poll patch you look for !=0 and never check for an 
error.

This can be done before the barrier. (In fact, this can be done first 
thing, before cons and prod are read).

You are returning size_t. I actually was going to ask in one of the 
previous patches whether using int for sizes was correct. Unfortunately 
I can't remember which struct/function I was looking at ;-(

Of course, you are also possibly returning a (negative) error here.

'sent' doesn't need to be initialized.

IIRC the error value for sk_send_head being zero is inconsistent across 
patches.

What does it mean when an error is detected on the interface? Does it 
need to be somehow propagated to the caller?
