1dff92e09e [IPV6] __inet6_csk_dst_store(): fix check-after-use
The Coverity checker spotted that we have already oops'ed if "dst" was
NULL.

Since "dst" being NULL doesn't seem to be possible at this point this
patch removes the NULL check.

f61944efdf [IPV6]: Make ipv6_frag_rcv return the same packet
This patch implements the same change taht was done to ip_defrag.  It
makes ipv6_frag_rcv return the last packet received of a train of fragments
rather than the head of that sequence.

This allows us to get rid of the sk_buff ** argument later.

7b995651e3 [BRIDGE]: Unshare skb upon entry
Due to the special location of the bridging hook, it should never see a
shared packet anyway (certainly not with any in-kernel code).  So it
makes sense to unshare the skb there if necessary as that will greatly
simplify the code below it (in particular, netfilter).

f697c3e8b3 [NET]: Avoid unnecessary cloning for ingress filtering
As it is we always invoke pt_prev before ing_filter, even if there are no

1706d58763 [IPV4]: Make ip_defrag return the same packet
This patch is a bit of a hack.  However it is worth it if you consider that
this is the only reason why we have to carry around the struct sk_buff **
pointers in netfilter.

It makes ip_defrag always return the packet that was given to it on input.
It does this by cloning the packet and replacing its original contents with
the head fragment if necessary.

e0053ec07e [SKBUFF]: Add skb_morph
This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone
except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten
by the one that's to be cloned.

This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same
skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which
requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).

dec18810c5 [SKBUFF]: Merge common code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone
This patch creates a new function __copy_skb_header to merge the common
code between copy_skb_header and skb_clone.  Having two functions which
are largely the same is a source of wasted labour as well as confusion.

In fact the tc_verd stuff is almost certainly a bug since it's treated
differently in skb_clone compared to the callers of copy_skb_header
(skb_copy/pskb_copy/skb_copy_expand).

I've kept that difference in tact with a comment added asking for
clarification.
