Ok. Yes, we will of course adhere to that, but I was wondering whether
maybe the net stack assumes somewhere that a packet it got from the
driver can be written to w/o copying.
All parts of the rx stack support clone handling because they can always
run after another handler (e.g., AF_PACKET) which may have cloned the
packet.
Great, thanks for confirming, we'll do that then.
