Basically you are trying to clean the ring without cleaning the ring in the cases where you encounter a non EOP descriptor. Why not just replace the skb pointer with an xdp_buff in the ring? Then you just build an xdp_buff w/ frags and then convert it after after i40e_is_non_eop? You should then still be able to use all the same page counting tricks and the pages would just be dropped into the shared info of an xdp_buff instead of an skb and function the same assuming you have all the logic in place to clean them up correctly.
