With the following registered ptypes,

/proc/net # cat ptype
Type Device Function
ALL tpacket_rcv
0800 ip_rcv.cfi_jt
0011 llc_rcv.cfi_jt
0004 llc_rcv.cfi_jt
0806 arp_rcv
86dd ipv6_rcv.cfi_jt

BPF checks skb_ensure_writable between tpacket_rcv and ip_rcv
(or ipv6_rcv). And it calls pskb_expand_head.

Every your understanding is right, but

A cloned skb after tpacket_rcv cannot go through skb_ensure_writable
with the original shinfo. pskb_expand_head reallocates the shinfo of
the skb and call skb_clone_fraglist. skb_release_data in
pskb_expand_head could not reduce skb->users of the each frag_list skb
if skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref == 2.

After the reallocation, skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref == 1 but each frag_list
skb could have skb->users == 2.
