That was my initial idea as well, but - I think it is for a reason that the variable is "const". - There is another use of it which would then instead need further amending (and which I believe is at least part of the reason for the variable to be "const").

But now that I look again, don't you want: if (i == 0 && first_shinfo && sharedslot) ? (i.e no '!') The comment states that the error should be indicated when the first frag contains the header in the case that the map succeeded but the prior copy from the same ref failed. This can only possibly be the case if this is the 'first_shinfo' (which is why I still think it is safe to unconst 'sharedslot' and clear it).

And "no" here as well - this piece of code /* First error: if the header haven't shared a slot with the * first frag, release it as well. */ if (!sharedslot) xenvif_idx_release(queue, XENVIF_TX_CB(skb)->pending_idx, XEN_NETIF_RSP_OKAY); specifically requires sharedslot to have the value that was assigned to it at the start of the function (this property doesn't go away when switching from fragments to frag list). Note also how it uses XENVIF_TX_CB(skb)->pending_idx, i.e. the value the local variable pending_idx was set from at the start of the function.
