Doint to many things at once is bad. IMHO it is more readable to do so:

+status = copy_to_user(buf, hdr, 2);
+if ( status  != 0) {

Maybe the maintainer has different ideas but especialy lines like will gain.

-if ((status = copy_from_user(fragbuf + 2, buf + fragpos, fraglen)) != 0)
+status = copy_from_user(fragbuf + 2, buf + fragpos, fraglen):
+if ( status  != 0) {

just my 2 cents,
