I am not sure how it could happen with the current implementation ?

static inline bool skb_is_nonlinear(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return skb->data_len;
}

static inline int skb_tailroom(const struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return skb_is_nonlinear(skb) ? 0 : skb->end - skb->tail;
}

/**
 * skb_try_coalesce - try to merge skb to prior one

 * @from: buffer to add
 * @fragstolen: pointer to boolean
 * @delta_truesize: how much more was allocated than was requested

bool skb_try_coalesce(struct sk_buff *to, struct sk_buff *from,
                      bool *fragstolen, int *delta_truesize)

        int i, delta, len = from->len;

        *fragstolen = false;

        if (skb_cloned(to))
                return false;

        if (len <= skb_tailroom(to)) {
                BUG_ON(skb_copy_bits(from, 0, skb_put(to, len), len));
