nit, from branch prediction point of view, maybe it would be 
better to write
     int len = i ? xdp_get_frag_size(frag) : xdpf->len;

since the value of i is checked one line above
Disclaimer: I'm far from a compiler expert, and don't know whether 
the compiler would know to group these two assignments together 
into a single branch prediction decision, but it feels like using 
'i' would make this decision easier for it.

Thanks,
Shay
