I agree that correct memory accounting here is not trivial. I think you
should restore the 'truesize' assignment.

Possibly a slightly more accurate adjustment would be:

	/* for last skb */
	skb->truesize = SKB_TRUESIZE(pkt_len_buf);

	/* for other skbs */
	skb->truesize = pkt_len_buf + SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct sk_buff);

Thanks!
