Yes, truesize can be over 64K, as it includes the aligned size of the 
data itself (64k max), struct skbuff and struct shared_info.
However my calculation for the truesize might be wrong: I count all the 
frags as full sized pages (skb->truesize += i * PAGE_SIZE), but the last 
page is not necessarily used entirely by that frag.
I had the idea that truesize should include the size of the whole page 
as we reserved it with alloc_page for this skb, but it might not be true.
Btw. with you "skb->truesize -= nskb->data_len;" version truesize should 
end up around 128k, something entirely wrong. Can you try with 
"skb->truesize -= nskb->data_len;" in that line?
My repro env is underway in the meantime ...
