Yes indeed.

Before your patch:
[   19.154039] ip6_xmit before realloc truesize 4864 sk? 000000002ccd6868
[   19.155230] ip6_xmit after realloc truesize 5376 sk? 0000000000000000

skb->sk is not set and thus truesize will be adjusted.


With your change:
[   15.092933] ip6_xmit before realloc truesize 4864 sk? 00000000072930fd
[   15.094131] ip6_xmit after realloc truesize 4864 sk? 00000000072930fd

skb->sk is set and thus truesize is not adjusted.
