Addressing comments reported by Clashiko [1], but not detected before
with the AI review tools using a different model version.
Note: the last comment from the 3rd patch has not been addressed, as it
is not clear to me whether this comment is valid:

[Low]
The check compares the current backlog_len against limit before the
incoming skb's truesize is added (the truesize is folded in at the
account: label further down). Was that intentional?
TCP's sk_add_backlog() analog compares queue_size + skb->truesize
against the limit, so a single skb can push msk->backlog_len past
limit here and the drop only fires on the next admission. The overshoot
is bounded by one skb's truesize and the commit message already notes
"This is not a complete fix for the stall issue, as the drop strategy
needs refinements that will come in the next patches.", so perhaps this
is one of the follow-up items?
