skb_share_check简单解释

/** *skb_share_check - check if buffer is shared and if so clone it *@skb: buffer to check *@pri: priority for memory allocation * *If the buffer is shared the buffer is cloned and the old copy *drops a reference. A new clone with a single reference is returned. *If the buffer is not shared the original buffer is returned. When *being called from interrupt status or with spinlocks held pri must *be GFP_ATOMIC. * *NULL is returned on a memory allocation failure. *  */ static inline struct sk_buff *skb_share_check(struct sk_buff *skb,      gfp_t pri){might_sleep_if(pri & __GFP_WAIT);if (skb_shared(skb)) {   struct sk_buff *nskb = skb_clone(skb, pri);kfree_skb(skb);skb = nskb;}return skb;}


其实这个函数挺简单的,但是刚刚开始想不通,为什么需要克隆一份,然后释放原skb,思考了半天,现在才有些明白。

首先,这个函数主要被TX和RX函数调用,以ip_rcv为例,其原型如下:

int ip_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev, struct packet_type *pt, struct net_device *orig_dev)


ip_rcv调用skb_share_check函数后,自己克隆了一个sk_buff,释放传入的sk_buff。为什么需要克隆sk_buff,然后释放原来的sk_buff呢?

(1)调用ip_rcv的函数把数据交给ip_rcv处理,自己撒手了,该skb由ip_rcv负责打理!

(2)但原来的skb可能被共享,如果需要修改skb,则会影响共享该sbk的其他函数,因此如果被共享,则克隆一份,再调用kfree_skb(实际只是skb->users--,相关数据并没有释放)
