does this mean that we have a true zero copy support with Eric D's
patch (nfnetlink_queue: zero-copy support) and this patch ?

Rgds,

No.  In both socket and mmap case there is one copy involved.

Before Erics patch, there were two:
first copy: skb_copy_bits() that copies to packet payload into the
netlink message
second copy: copy to userspace when recv() is called

Patricks mmap patch removes the second copy; as the netlink
message is already allocated in userspace memory (the mmap ring).

Erics patch avoids the first copy by only copying fragments'
addresses instead of the payload.
