[ Upstream commit268b790679] Call skb_zerocopy_clone after skb_orphan_frags, to avoid duplicate calls to skb_uarg(skb)->callback for the same data. skb_zerocopy_clone associates skb_shinfo(skb)->uarg from frag_skb with each segment. This is only safe for uargs that do refcounting, which is those that pass skb_orphan_frags without dropping their shared frags. For others, skb_orphan_frags drops the user frags and sets the uarg to NULL, after which sock_zerocopy_clone has no effect. Qemu hangs were reported due to duplicate vhost_net_zerocopy_callback calls for the same data causing the vhost_net_ubuf_ref_>refcount to drop below zero.

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.
