From: Willem de Bruijn willemb@google.com
[ Upstream commit fff88030b3ff930ca7a3d74acfee0472f33887ea ]
When inheriting tx_flags from one skbuff to another, always apply a mask to avoid overwriting unrelated other bits in the field.
The two SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG cases clears all other bits. In practice, tx_flags are zero at this point now. But this is fragile. Timestamp flags are set, for instance, if in tcp_gso_segment, after this clear in skb_segment.
The SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP mask in __skb_tstamp_tx ensures that new skbs do not accidentally inherit flags such as SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.
