I think it would be best to use the unlikely(tail_tag) approach though. The reallocation function should still be in the common code path. Even for a non-1588 switch, there are other code paths that clone packets on TX. For example, the bridge does that, when flooding packets. Currently, DSA ensures that the header area is writable by calling skb_cow_head, as far as I can see. But the point is, maybe we can do TX reallocation centrally.
