Yep, exactly!

It depends on how we call virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt(). If we use
hdr->len there I would use the same to avoid confusion. Plus that's the
value the other peer sent us, so definitely the right value to increase
fwd_cnt with. But if skb->len always reflects it, then that's fine.

Right!
