[ Upstream commit185ce5c38e] Zerocopy skbs without completion notification were added for packet sockets with PACKET_TX_RING user buffers. Those signal completion through the TP_STATUS_USER bit in the ring. Zerocopy annotation was added only to avoid premature notification after clone or orphan, by triggering a copy on these paths for these packets. The mechanism had to define a special "no-uarg" mode because packet sockets already use skb_uarg(skb) == skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg for a different pointer. Before deferencing skb_uarg(skb), verify that it is a real pointer.

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.
