Tung Nguyen ef9be75569 tipc: eliminate buffer cloning in function tipc_msg_extract()
The function tipc_msg_extract() is using skb_clone() to clone inner
messages from a message bundle buffer. Although this method is safe,
it has an undesired effect that each buffer clone inherits the
true-size of the bundling buffer. As a result, the buffer clone
almost always ends up with being copied anyway by the message
validation function. This makes the cloning into a sub-optimization.

In this commit we take the consequence of this realization, and copy
each inner message to a separately allocated buffer up front in the
extraction function.

As a bonus we can now eliminate the two cases where we had to copy
re-routed packets that may potentially go out on the wire again.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
