Thanks for your review.

The skb_zcopy() does indeed make repeated checks. So following your 
suggestion,

I have modified the code as follows:

-                       net_zcopy_get(skb_zcopy(skb));
+                       net_zcopy_get(skb_uarg(skb));

Does it seem more reasonable?

And I plan to modify all three functions in patch version 2.
