Let's see what that does different and if that gives an insight in what is going
wrong.

The debug patch that i used is attached.
Here is some of the output, skb->data_len size sometimes varies slightly as does skb->truesize (is that allowed to become > 64k ?).

Yes, truesize can be over 64K, as it includes the aligned size of the 
data itself (64k max), struct skbuff and struct shared_info.
However my calculation for the truesize might be wrong: I count all the 
frags as full sized pages (skb->truesize += i * PAGE_SIZE), but the last 
page is not necessarily used entirely by that frag.
I had the idea that truesize should include the size of the whole page 
as we reserved it with alloc_page for this skb, but it might not be true.

Btw. with you "skb->>truesize -= nskb->data_len;" version truesize should 

end up around 128k, something entirely wrong. Can you try with 

"skb->>truesize -= nskb->data_len;" in that line?

My repro env is underway in the meantime ...

Erhmm i don't get this last part, first you entitle
"skb->truesize -= nskb->data_len;" as being "entirely wrong" (which is probably true)

Then you want me to try just that ? .. or did you mean something else ?
