Thanks, I understand it don't happen in the latest kernel version.
My problem happened using kernel version 3.10.0-xx

The peek len willn't return 0.

static int peek_head_len(struct sock *sk)
{
struct sk_buff *head;
int len = 0;
unsigned long flags;

spin_lock_irqsave(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock, flags);
head = skb_peek(&sk->sk_receive_queue);
if (likely(head)) {
len = head->len;
if (skb_vlan_tag_present(head))
len += VLAN_HLEN;
}

spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock, flags);
return len;
}
