Re: [PATCH] tcp: skb_shift cannot cache frag ptrs past pskb_expand_head

Since pskb_expand_head creates copy of the shared area we
cannot keep any frag ptr past de-cloning. This fixes the
tcpdump recvfrom -EFAULT problem.

Good catch.

I think everyone mucking around with these sorts of things
has made this error at least once or twice :)
