Currently TCP_SKB_CB() is hard-coded in skmsg code, it certainly does not work for any other non-TCP protocols. We can move them to skb ext, but it introduces a memory allocation on fast path. Fortunately, we only need to a word-size to store all the information, because the flags actually only contains 1 bit so can be just packed into the lowest bit of the "pointer", which is stored as unsigned long. Inside struct sk_buff, '_skb_refdst' can be reused because skb dst is no longer needed after ->sk_data_ready() so we can just drop it.

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.
