Because this is just grabbing an skb did you consider build_skb?

I think it would be best to push err back to caller here with ERR_PTR().

Is it obvious why this get_page() is needed? Maybe a small comment would
be nice. Something like, "we need to inc refcnt on page to ensure skb
does not release page from pool".

nit: take it or leave it, seems like a lot of new lines imo. I would
just put all these together. Not really important though.

Is err set here? Either way if skb is an ERR_PTR we can use that
here for better error handling.

Same here, do we need to set err now that its not explicit above in
err = skb_store_bits...
