True, it does not seem useful.
I will remove it.

I was a bit unsure what was an appropriate value but
I agree that -EINVAL seems better than -ENOMEM.
I will change it to -EINVAL.

Thanks, though I think you mean that PUSH_MPLS should be similar to
PUSH_VLAN. I don't think that either pop_mpls() or pop_vlan() free the
skb on error.

I will add the following:

Thanks, I'll clean that up.

Thanks, I guess that is the by-product of some refactoring.
I'll remove it.
