This expensive operation can be avoided in the fast path when the only other clone has released the header. This is the common case for TCP, where one headerless clone is kept on the retransmit queue. It is safe to do so even when touching the gso fields in skb_shinfo. Regular tunnel encap with iptunnel_handle_offloads takes the same optimization. The tcp stack unclones in the unlikely case that it accesses these fields through headerless clones packets on the retransmit queue (see __tcp_retransmit_skb). If any other clones are present, e.g., from packet sockets, skb_cow_head returns the same value as skb_cow().
