I see that imix uses EINVAL but I would suggest to add the new check to
the previous condition which returns -ENOTSUPP. A value like "clone_skb
1" is not invalid by itself.

I think the restriction on count == 0 can be dropped by adding the
following changes, do you agree?

Please integrate the new check with the existing ones in the 'if' just
above.

netdev uses an 80 column limit

This triggers a checkpatch warning. How about cleaning that code up in a
preceding patch to use pkt_flag_names[] instead?

This patch introduces almost the same use after free problem as v1.
Please take the time to look at the existing code to understand the
cases when a skb refcount is dropped by the stack.
This time the problem can be triggered with:
ip link add dummy0 up type dummy
tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root pfifo_head_drop limit 0
And then run pktgen on dummy0 with "flag !SHARED" and "xmit_mode
queue_xmit"
