Hmm we orphan skbs when we loop them back so how about reusing the
skb->destructor for this?

That's one possibility.

But I fear we're about to toss Ian into yet another rabbit hole. :-)

Let's try to converge on something quickly as I think integration of
his work has been delayed enough as-is.

OK I tried doing this and I recalled why we
do the copy with ubufs before clone:
the problem is that shinfo is shared between skbs,
so modifying frags like skb_orphan_frags does is racy.
Stuck for now.

So I have a question: how about reusing the TX_DEV_ZEROCOPY
machinery for this, instead of frag destructors?

Thanks,
