NAME
skb_copy_expand - copy and expand sk_buff
SYNOPSIS
struct sk_buff * skb_copy_expand(const struct sk_buff * skb,
int newheadroom, int newtailroom,
gfp_t gfp_mask);
ARGUMENTS
- skb
- buffer to copy
- newheadroom
- new free bytes at head
- newtailroom
- new free bytes at tail
- gfp_mask
- allocation priority
DESCRIPTION
Make a copy of both an sk_buff and its data and while doing so allocate
additional space.
This is used when the caller wishes to modify the data and needs a
private copy of the data to alter as well as more space for new fields.
Returns NULL on failure or the pointer to the buffer on success. The
returned buffer has a reference count of 1.
You must pass GFP_ATOMIC as the allocation priority if this function is
called from an interrupt.
