Hi,

This causes skb extensions to be allocated for the allocated skb, but
there are instances that blindly overwrite 'skb->extensions' by invoking
skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb(). For example, skb_copy(),
__pskb_copy_fclone() and skb_copy_expand(). This results in the skb
extensions being leaked [1].

One possible solution is to try to patch all these instances with
skb_ext_put() before skb_copy_header().

Another possible solution is to convert skb_copy_header() to use
skb_ext_copy() instead of __skb_ext_copy(). It will first drop the
reference on the skb extensions of the new skb, but it assumes that
'skb->active_extensions' is valid. This is not the case in the
skb_clone() path so we should probably zero this field in __skb_clone().

Other suggestions?

Thanks
