Subject: [PATCH 3.10 62/77] skbuff: skb_segment: orphan frags before copying

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@...hat.com>

commit 1fd819ecb90cc9b822cd84d3056ddba315d3340f upstream.

skb_segment copies frags around, so we need
to copy them carefully to avoid accessing
user memory after reporting completion to userspace
through a callback.

skb_segment doesn't normally happen on datapath:
TSO needs to be disabled - so disabling zero copy
in this case does not look like a big deal.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2.  As skb_segment() only supports page-frags *or* a
  frag list, there is no need for the additional frag_skb pointer or the
  preparatory renaming.]
