    net: dsa: free skb->cb usage in core driver · c4b364ce

    Free skb->cb usage in core driver and let device drivers decide to
    use or not. The reason having a DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->clone was because
    dsa_skb_tx_timestamp() which may set the clone pointer was called
    before p->xmit() which would use the clone if any, and the device
    driver has no way to initialize the clone pointer.
    
    This patch just put memset(skb->cb, 0, sizeof(skb->cb)) at beginning
    of dsa_slave_xmit(). Some new features in the future, like one-step
    timestamp may need more bytes of skb->cb to use in
    dsa_skb_tx_timestamp(), and p->xmit().
