An skb_clone() was added in commit ec4fbd64 ("inet: frag: release spinlock before calling icmp_send()") While fixing the bug at that time, it also added a very high cost for DDOS frags, as the ICMP rate limit is applied after this expensive operation (skb_clone() + consume_skb(), implying memory allocations, copy, and freeing) We can use skb_get(head) here, all we want is to make sure skb wont be freed by another cpu.
