SYNOPSIS

9       struct sk_buff * __netdev_alloc_skb(struct net_device * dev,
10                                           unsigned int length,
11                                           gfp_t gfp_mask);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       dev
15           network device to receive on
16
17       length
18           length to allocate
19
20       gfp_mask
21           get_free_pages mask, passed to alloc_skb
22

DESCRIPTION

24       Allocate a new sk_buff and assign it a usage count of one. The buffer
25       has unspecified headroom built in. Users should allocate the headroom
26       they think they need without accounting for the built in space. The
27       built in space is used for optimisations.
28
29       NULL is returned if there is no free memory.
