When inheriting tx_flags from one skbuff to another, always apply a mask to avoid overwriting unrelated other bits in the field. The two SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG cases clears all other bits. In practice, tx_flags are zero at this point now. But this is fragile. Timestamp flags are set, for instance, if in tcp_gso_segment, after this clear in skb_segment. The SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP mask in __skb_tstamp_tx ensures that new skbs do not accidentally inherit flags such as SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.

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.
