The use of SKB_EXT seems to be very costly to just store a boolean value.

What I could see from some of the other SKB_EXT users this extension 
(which performs alloc & COW) is used in special circumstances.

With your suggestion this additional effort is needed for every CAN 
related skb.

So at least for this use-case extending struct can_skb_priv seems to be 
more efficient.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/can/skb.h#L44

We might get into problems with PF_PACKET sockets when extending the 
can_skb_priv length beyond HH_DATA_MOD, see:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/can/skb.h#L99

But for now I'm not sure that SKB_EXT isn't too heavy to store that 
single flag.

Best regards,
Oliver
