What do you mean by "nothing was freeing them"?
I am sure kfree_skb() will free those in frag_list:
654 static void skb_release_data(struct sk_buff *skb)
655 {
656 struct skb_shared_info *shinfo = skb_shinfo(skb);
657 int i;
...
669 if (shinfo->frag_list)
670 kfree_skb_list(shinfo->frag_list);

This exact kfree_skb() should free those in frag_list. If the above
if condition does not meet for some reason, then fix that condition?
Thanks.
