Rather than a u32 why not just make it an size_t? The advantage is that
is the native type for all the memory allocation and copying that takes
place in the function so it would avoid having to cast between u32 and
size_t.

Also why not move buflen over to the unsigned integer category with the
other values you stated were at risk of overflow?

For example, this line here is comparing buflen to a fixed constant. If
we are concerned about overflows this could be triggering an integer
overflow resulting in truncation assuming *len is close to the roll-
over threshold.

By converting to a size_t we would most likely end up blowing up on the
kmalloc and instead returning an -ENOMEM.

Also with any type change such as this I believe you would also need to
update the netdev_dbg statement that displays respoffs and the like to
account for the fact that you are now using an unsigned value.
Otherwise I believe %d will display the value as a signed integer
value.

Actually you should be able to simplfy this further. Assuming resplen,
buflen and respoffs all the same type this entire if statement could be
broken down into:
		copylen = min(resplen, buflen - respoffs);
