When you said "skb address", did you mean skb pointer value or
fragments data address?

If fragment data address, I can use first fragment page address to
deduce header address (in destructor)
As there is a constant offset between header address and data address.

However I'm afraid of issues once it is linearized.
Is there a sending path that will lose fragments info?

Best regards,
Johann
