Should be done in any case. __skb_ext_del() also lacks
SKB_EXT_MCTP handling.
Once thats fixed, skb_ext_scrub() could look like this, no?
static int __skb_ext_scrub(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int keep)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < SKB_EXT_NUM; i++) {
if (((i << 1) & keep) == 0)
skb_ext_del(skb, i);
}
}
AFAICS that handles all cases, also, doing skb_ext_del() for
all active extensions is supposed to be equal to skb_ext_reset().
