This made me notice that several drivers open-code this:
if (skb_header_cloned(skb) &&
pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 0, GFP_ATOMIC))
goto drop;
If someone is looking for a quick cleanup, transforming these
to use skb_cow_head() would be nice. That way other driver
authors will be less likely to copy the expanded code.
