David Howells d0d5c0cd1e rxrpc: Use skb_unshare() rather than skb_cow_data()
The in-place decryption routines in AF_RXRPC's rxkad security module
currently call skb_cow_data() to make sure the data isn't shared and that
the skb can be written over.  This has a problem, however, as the softirq
handler may be still holding a ref or the Rx ring may be holding multiple
refs when skb_cow_data() is called in rxkad_verify_packet() - and so
skb_shared() returns true and __pskb_pull_tail() dislikes that.  If this
occurs, something like the following report will be generated.

Fix this by using skb_unshare() instead in the input path for DATA packets
that have a security index != 0.  Non-DATA packets don't need in-place
encryption and neither do unencrypted DATA packets.

README

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.
