The variable 'status' in  __packet_lookup_frame_in_block() is never used since
introduction in commit f6fb8f100b80 ("af-packet: TPACKET_V3 flexible buffer
implementation."), we can remove it.
And when __packet_lookup_frame_in_block() calls prb_retire_current_block(), 
it can pass macro TP_STATUS_KERNEL instead of 0.

I don't think that 0 is intended to mean TP_STATUS_KERNEL here.

prb_retire_current_block calls prb_close_block which sets status to

  TP_STATUS_USER | stat

where stat is 0 or TP_STATUS_BLK_TMO.

#define TP_STATUS_KERNEL		      0
#define TP_STATUS_BLK_TMO		(1 << 5)

Actually, packet_current_rx_frame calls __packet_lookup_frame_in_block with status=TP_STATUS_KERNEL
in original code.

__packet_lookup_frame_in_block in this function, first is to check whether the currently active block
has enough space for the packet, which means status of block should be TP_STATUS_KERNEL, then it calls
prb_retire_current_block to retire this block.

Since there needs some discussion about means of status, I can send v2 only removing the parameter status of
__packet_lookup_frame_in_block?

I know. I mean that the status here is what is passed to userspace on
block retire.

It is not intended to be TP_STATUS_USER | TP_STATUS_KERNEL. That makes no sense.

Sounds good.
