Should type for head be changed so that we do not need to cast?
I also prefer aligning descendants on the opening (.

Isn't the original name a bit more descriptive?

This is done without locking, which I think can crash
if skb is consumed after we peek it but before we read the
length.

Isn't this equivalent? Do you expect zero len skbs in socket?
If yes, maybe we should discard these, not stop processing ...

This peeks in the queue to figure out how much data we have.
It's a neat trick, but it does introduce new failure modes
where an skb is consumed after we did the peek:
- new skb could be shorter, we should return the unconsumed part
- new skb could be longer, this will drop a packet.
maybe this last is not an issue as the race should be rare in practice

you find this comment unhelpful?

we still need this check, don't we?

Could you please document this function's parameters? It's not obvious
what iovcount, log, log_num are.

whitespace damage: I prefer space around =, <.
I also use ++i, etc in this driver, better be consistent?
Also for clarity, I prefer to put vq->last_used_idx inside the loop.

If this fails, last_used_idx will still be incremented, which I think is wrong.
