Very counter-productively trimmed ;)

AFAIU before:

      old_data (aka skb->data before)
     /
    / off  len 
   V-----><--->
[ .=======xxxxx... buffer ...... ]
          ^
           \
            the xxx part is what we delete

after:
          skb->data (after)
         /
        v
[ .yyyyy=======... buffer ...... ]
   <---><----->
    len   off  
   ^
    \
     the yyy part is technically the old values of === but now "outside"
     of the valid packet data

Yes.

This just pulls from the front, we need to skip over various L2/L3
headers thanks to off. Hopefully the diagrams help, LMK if they are
wrong.
