From: Jason Xing Once xsk_skb_init_misc() has been called on an skb, its destructor is set to xsk_destruct_skb(), which submits the descriptor address(es) to the completion queue and advances the CQ producer. If such an skb is subsequently freed via kfree_skb() along an error path - before the skb has ever been handed to the driver - the destructor still runs and submits a bogus, half-initialized address to the CQ. Postpone the init phase when we believe the allocation of first frag is successfully completed. Before this init, skb can be safely freed by kfree_skb().
