OK. Thanks.

But there is another issue, when splice() is involved. If we splice
the skbs generated by AF_PACKET socket to a pipe, the fragment pages
will be hold by the pipe, but the skbs are freed, and AF_PACKET socket
will been told that the corresponding TX ring buffers are available
for the other uses wrongly.
