This is a net-next follow-up to commit 268b79067942 ("skbuff: orphan
frags before zerocopy clone"), which fixed a bug in net, but added a
call to skb_zerocopy_clone at each frag to do so.
When segmenting skbs with user frags, either the user frags must be
replaced with private copies and uarg released, or the uarg must have
its refcount increased for each new skb.
skb_orphan_frags does the first, except for cases that can handle
reference counting. skb_zerocopy_clone then does the second.
Call these once per nskb, instead of once per frag.
That is, in the common case. With a frag list, also refresh when the
origin skb (frag_skb) changes.

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.
