KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN) reported the following race (on 4.2 rc2):

The only way I can see it happens is as follows:
- sk_buff_fclones is allocated
- then it is cloned which returns fclones->skb2
- then fclones->skb2 is freed, which drops fclones->fclone_ref to 1
- then the original skb is cloned again
- at this point skb_clone sees that fclones->fclone_ref = 1
and returns fclones->skb2 again
Now initialization of fclones->skb2 races with the previous use,
because refcounting lacks proper memory barriers.
I am looking at skb code for the first time, so I can't conclude
whether such scenario is possible or not. But refcount at least in
kfree_skbmem() looks broken. For example, kfree_skb() properly
inserts rmb after the fast-path check:
if (likely(atomic_read(&skb->users) == 1))
smp_rmb();
The patch contains a proposed fix.
If it looks good to you and the scenario looks sane,
then I will update the description and resend it.
