Perhaps better to write "dev_forward_skb()" to make obvious you talk
about function.

Why do you need to be in rcu read locked section here?

Not sure why you need to rename the label. Why "out" is not okay?

This is definitelly not an error path, "err" label name is misleading.

Hmm, can't you track dropped packets in ns->tx_dropped and expose in
nsim_get_stats64() ?
