![]() A pattern of skb usage seen in modules such as RDS-TCP is to extract `to_copy' bytes from the received TCP segment, starting at some offset `off' into a new skb `clone'. This is done in the ->data_ready callback, where the clone skb is queued up for rx on the PF_RDS socket, while the parent TCP segment is returned unchanged back to the TCP engine. The existing code uses the sequence clone = skb_clone(..); pskb_pull(clone, off, ..); pskb_trim(clone, to_copy, ..); with the intention of discarding the first `off' bytes. However, skb_clone() + pskb_pull() implies pksb_expand_head(), which ends up doing a redundant memcpy of bytes that will then get discarded in __pskb_pull_tail(). To avoid this inefficiency, this commit adds pskb_extract() that creates the clone, and memcpy's only the relevant header/frag/frag_list to the start of `clone'. pskb_trim() is then invoked to trim clone down to the requested to_copy bytes.
