DESCRIPTION

19       Allocate a new sk_buff and assign it a usage count of one. The buffer
20       has unspecified headroom built in. Users should allocate the headroom
21       they think they need without accounting for the built in space. The
22       built in space is used for optimisations.

24       NULL is returned if there is no free memory.
