Yes, but you can make this test trigger with some hacks from userland
(since the frag allocator is per task instead of per socket), so you
should remove the dump_stack() ?

Best way would be to count exact number of slots.

This could be something like 48 slots for a single skb

(if each frag is 4098 (1+4096+1)bytes, only the last one is around 4000
bytes)

MAX_SKB_FRAGS is really number of frags, while your driver needs a count
of 'order-0' 'frames'
