.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function creates a clone of a buffer that holds a reference on sk_refcnt\&. Buffers created via this function are meant to be returned using sock_queue_err_skb, or free via kfree_skb\&.
.PP
When passing buffers allocated with this function to sock_queue_err_skb it is necessary to wrap the call with sock_hold/sock_put in order to prevent the socket from being released prior to being enqueued on the sk_error_queue\&.
