DESCRIPTION

19       If the socket buffer is a clone then this function creates a new copy
20       of the data, drops a reference count on the old copy and returns the
21       new copy with the reference count at 1. If the buffer is not a clone
22       the original buffer is returned. When called with a spinlock held or
23       from interrupt state pri must be GFP_ATOMIC
24
25       NULL is returned on a memory allocation failure.
