NAME

       skb_dequeue - remove from the head of the queue

SYNOPSIS

       struct sk_buff * skb_dequeue(struct sk_buff_head * list);

ARGUMENTS

       list
	   list to dequeue from

DESCRIPTION

       Remove the head of the list. The list lock is taken so the function may be used safely with other locking list functions. The head item is
       returned or NULL if the list is empty.

NAME

       get_robust_list, set_robust_list - get/set list of robust futexes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/futex.h>
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <syscall.h>

       long get_robust_list(int pid, struct robust_list_head **head_ptr,
			    size_t *len_ptr);
       long set_robust_list(struct robust_list_head *head, size_t len);

       Note: There are no glibc wrappers for these system calls; see NOTES.

DESCRIPTION

       The robust futex implementation needs to maintain per-thread lists of robust futexes which are unlocked when the thread exits.  These lists
       are managed in user space; the kernel is notified about only the location of the head of the list.

       The get_robust_list() system call returns the head of the robust futex list of the thread whose thread ID is specified in pid.  If  pid	is
       0,  the	head of the list for the calling thread is returned.  The list head is stored in the location pointed to by head_ptr.  The size of
       the object pointed to by **head_ptr is stored in len_ptr.

       The set_robust_list() system call requests the kernel to record the head of the list of robust futexes owned by the  calling  thread.   The
       head argument is the list head to record.  The len argument should be sizeof(*head).

RETURN VALUE

       The set_robust_list() and get_robust_list() system calls return zero when the operation is successful, an error code otherwise.

ERRORS

       The set_robust_list() system call can fail with the following error:

       EINVAL len does not match the size of structure struct robust_list_head expected by kernel.

       The get_robust_list() system call can fail with the following errors:

       EPERM  The  calling  process  does not have permission to see the robust futex list of the thread with the thread ID pid, and does not have
	      the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability.

       ESRCH  No thread with the thread ID pid could be found.

       EFAULT The head of the robust futex list can't be stored at the location head.

VERSIONS

       These system calls were added in Linux 2.6.17.

NOTES

       These system calls are not needed by normal applications.  No support for them is provided in glibc.  In the unlikely event that  you  want
       to call them directly, use syscall(2).

       A thread can have only one robust futex list; therefore applications that wish to use this functionality should use the robust mutexes pro-
       vided by glibc.
