Only one real question wrt stats. Otherwise looks good to me, thanks.

no need for empty line?

data_len is defined as the data excluding the linear len (ref:
skb_headlen). That is not just paged data, but includes frag_list.

might this change stats? it will if skb->len != 0 before skb_put. Even
if so, perhaps it doesn't matter.
