skb_copy_ubufs must unclone before it is safe to modify its
skb_shared_info with skb_zcopy_clear.
Commit b90ddd568792 ("skbuff: skb_copy_ubufs must release uarg even
without user frags") ensures that all skbs release their zerocopy
state, even those without frags.
But I forgot an edge case where such an skb arrives that is cloned.
The stack does not build such packets. Vhost/tun skbs have their
frags orphaned before cloning. TCP skbs only attach zerocopy state
when a frag is added.
But if TCP packets can be trimmed or linearized, this might occur.
Tracing the code I found no instance so far (e.g., skb_linearize
ends up calling skb_zcopy_clear if !skb->data_len).
Still, it is non-obvious that no path exists. And it is fragile to
rely on this.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
