You're also making some functional changes tho, they at the very least
need to be enumerated or preferably separate patches.

Don't zero-init the variables like this, instead...

... use

	err = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(skb);

close to the jumps. It's safer to always init err before jumping.

now we'll increment error and drop counters, that's not right.

this change is unnecessary, please refrain from making it

keep

	return total_len;

that's much easier to read, and there's no concern of err being
uninitialized.
