I think the best would be if you will split this patch into three:
- the first one will introduce NETI_F_SKB_NO_LINEAR;
- the second will add this feature to virtio_net;
- the third will do the rest.
Also, it would be nice if you'll mention (in the cover letter or
in the third patch) that in order to get a nice boost on non-ZC
XSK xmit developers can add a support for completely non-linear
skbs and advertise this new feature in their drivers. I think
there'll be enough folks wanting to do this.

As the others said, just use ERR_PTR() and PTR_ERR().
You also should have received the letters from kernel test robot
that the current version is non-compilable at all.
