NAME
       skb_clone - duplicate an sk_buff

SYNOPSIS
       struct sk_buff * skb_clone(struct sk_buff * skb, gfp_t gfp_mask);

ARGUMENTS
       skb
           buffer to clone

       gfp_mask
           allocation priority

DESCRIPTION
       Duplicate an sk_buff. The new one is not owned by a socket. Both copies share the same
       packet data but not structure. The new buffer has a reference count of 1. If the
       allocation fails the function returns NULL otherwise the new buffer is returned.

       If this function is called from an interrupt gfp_mask must be GFP_ATOMIC.
