Subject: copy_skb_header() and sk_buff flags (question)

Hello,

I have a question if I may, as I cannot understand this point:

I try to understand why in __copy_skb_header() we copy various flags
(like ip_summed,
local_df, pkt_type, priority, ipvs_property, and more. But there are
flags which we do
not copy, like nohdr, or fclone, or peeked.

 Aren't these flags part of the sk_buff header?

regards,
Kevin
