DESCRIPTION

19       If the buffer is shared the buffer is cloned and the old copy drops a
20       reference. A new clone with a single reference is returned. If the
21       buffer is not shared the original buffer is returned. When being called
22       from interrupt status or with spinlocks held pri must be GFP_ATOMIC.
23
24       NULL is returned on a memory allocation failure.
