The in-place decryption routines in AF_RXRPC's rxkad security module
currently call skb_cow_data() to make sure the data isn't shared and that
the skb can be written over. This has a problem, however, as the softirq
handler may be still holding a ref or the Rx ring may be holding multiple
refs when skb_cow_data() is called in rxkad_verify_packet() - and so
skb_shared() returns true and __pskb_pull_tail() dislikes that. If this
occurs, something like the following report will be generated.

Fix this by using skb_unshare() instead in the input path for DATA packets
that have a security index != 0. Non-DATA packets don't need in-place
encryption and neither do unencrypted DATA packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
