Here's a series of patches that replaces the use of skb_cow_data() in rxrpc with skb_unshare() early on in the input process. The problem that is being seen is that skb_cow_data() indirectly requires that the maximum usage count on an sk_buff be 1, and it may generate an assertion failure in pskb_expand_head() if not. This can occur because rxrpc_input_data() may be still holding a ref when it has just attached the sk_buff to the rx ring and given that attachment its own ref. If recvmsg happens fast enough, skb_cow_data() can see the ref still held by the softirq handler. Further, a packet may contain multiple subpackets, each of which gets its own attachment to the ring and its own ref - also making skb_cow_data() go bang. Fix this by:
...
There are also patches to improve the rxrpc_skb tracepoint to make sure that Tx-derived buffers are identified separately from Rx-derived buffers in the trace.
This looks great, thanks for reimplementing this using skb_unshare().

Pulled, thanks again.
