Just noticed that you orphan the Netlink skb frags which do not
exist yet instead of the source skb frags.
Oh, sorry, I'll fix this up.
Did you consider calling skb_tx_error() for Netlink message
allocation failures for the upcall as well? That memory pressure
is currently not reported back.
Yeah, that makes sense, I'll fix it the callers. Btw. I guess that just
provides some statistical data for the creator of the skb. At least for
netback it only increment a stat counter.
