So I started putting gdb to work, and whenever I see an allocation
exactly like the above that goes through tso_fragment() a warning
immediately follows.

Long story short, I somehow synthesized this patch that appears to fix
things, but I can't explain why exactly:

Now, here are the breadcrumbs I followed:


1. Breakpoint on kfence_ksize() -- first allocation that matches the above:

is cloned:

3. The original skb (that was cloned) has its truesize adjusted
after a pskb_expand_head():

| Thread 2 hit Hardware access (read/write) watchpoint 6: *0xffff888117f55f90
|
| Old value = 1570
| New value = 1954

^^ the difference between the old and the new value is exactly
384, which is also the final underflow of the sk_wmem_queued
that triggers the warning. Presumably if the original allocation
had been through kmalloc-1k and not KFENCE, the difference here
would have been 0, since ksize() of the original allocation in
step (1) would have been 1024, and not 640 (difference of 384).

Any of this make sense?
