This is a poorly worded commit message.

You have to say exactly what "the issue" is.

Reading your patch:

This change has no effect and is unrelated.  Please do not mix
unrelated changes with the main change, because this makes it
hard to review your work.

And clearly the bug you are fixing is simply that frag_len was only
being set for the first fragment.

Please just fix that bug and remove all of these other completely
unrelated changes.
