  there's nothing to pull, which pskb_may_pull() doesn't do (Sashiko).
- xen-netfront, netxen, qlcnic: call skb_drop_empty_frags() after
  pskb_may_pull().
- skb_drop_empty_frags() checked with a boot-time test under KASAN and
  kmemleak, on cloned and uncloned skbs.
Please keep in mind that we ask people to limit themselves to 15
outstanding patches per tree. You have 18 right now.
(200 active netdev contributors + an LLM) x 20 patches == insanity :/
