secpath_set is a wrapper for secpath_dup that will not perform an allocation if the secpath attached to the skb has a reference count of one, i.e., it doesn't need to be COW'ed. Also, secpath_dup doesn't attach the secpath to the skb, it leaves this to the caller. Use secpath_set in places that immediately assign the return value to skb. This allows to remove skb->sp without touching these spots again. secpath_dup can eventually be removed in followup patch. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
