__PSKB_PULL_TAIL(9)						 Linux Networking					       __PSKB_PULL_TAIL(9)

NAME
__pskb_pull_tail - advance tail of skb header SYNOPSIS
unsigned char * __pskb_pull_tail(struct sk_buff * skb, int delta); ARGUMENTS
skb buffer to reallocate delta number of bytes to advance tail DESCRIPTION
The function makes a sense only on a fragmented sk_buff, it expands header moving its tail forward and copying necessary data from fragmented part. sk_buff MUST have reference count of 1. Returns NULL (and sk_buff does not change) if pull failed or value of new tail of skb in the case of success. All the pointers pointing into skb header may change and must be reloaded after call to this function. COPYRIGHT

NAME
__skb_recv_datagram - Receive a datagram skbuff SYNOPSIS
struct sk_buff * __skb_recv_datagram(struct sock * sk, unsigned int flags, int * peeked, int * off, int * err); ARGUMENTS
sk socket flags MSG_ flags peeked returns non-zero if this packet has been seen before off an offset in bytes to peek skb from. Returns an offset within an skb where data actually starts err error code returned DESCRIPTION
Get a datagram skbuff, understands the peeking, nonblocking wakeups and possible races. This replaces identical code in packet, raw and udp, as well as the IPX AX.25 and Appletalk. It also finally fixes the long standing peek and read race for datagram sockets. If you alter this routine remember it must be re-entrant. This function will lock the socket if a skb is returned, so the caller needs to unlock the socket in that case (usually by calling skb_free_datagram) * It does not lock socket since today. This function is * free of race conditions. This measure should/can improve * significantly datagram socket latencies at high loads, * when data copying to user space takes lots of time. * (BTW I've just killed the last cli in IP/IPv6/core/netlink/packet * 8) Great win.) * --ANK (980729) The order of the tests when we find no data waiting are specified quite explicitly by POSIX 1003.1g, don't change them without having the standard around please.
