We can build one skb and let it be cloned in netlink.
This is much faster, and use less memory (all clones will
share the same skb->head)
Tested:
time perf record (for f in `seq 1 3000` ; do ip netns add tast$f; done)
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.110 MB perf.data (~179584 samples) ]
real 0m24.227s # instead of 0m52.554s
user 0m0.329s
sys 0m23.753s # instead of 0m51.375s

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
