tcp: must unclone packets before mangling them
[ Upstream commit c52e2421f7368fd36cbe330d2cf41b10452e39a9 ] TCP stack should make sure it owns skbs before mangling them. We had various crashes using bnx2x, and it turned out gso_size was cleared right before bnx2x driver was populating TC descriptor of the _previous_ packet send. TCP stack can sometime retransmit packets that are still in Qdisc. Of course we could make bnx2x driver more robust (using ACCESS_ONCE(shinfo->gso_size) for example), but the bug is TCP stack. We have identified two points where skb_unclone() was needed. This patch adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to warn us if we missed another fix of this kind. Kudos to Neal for finding the root cause of this bug.
