Subject: [v2 PATCH] net: Stop decapitating clones that have a head_frag
Date: Wed, 02 May 2012 21:18:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120503041842.8315.16138.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com> (raw)

This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in
the event that the skb->head was cloned.  This allows the other clones to
track each other via shinfo->dataref.

Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count,
one being dataref, the other being the page count.  As a result it becomes
difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.
