✨ NAME ✨

__skb_queue_tail — queue a buffer at the list tail 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __skb_queue_tail (struct sk_buff_head *list , struct sk_buff *newsk
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • list — the list to use 🫶
  • newsk — the buffer to queue ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, here’s the tea: this function queues a buffer at the end of a list. That’s the whole vibe. 💅

⚠️ no cap: this function takes no locks, and you must therefore hold required locks before calling it. Do not skip that part, bestie 😭

Also important: a buffer cannot be placed on two lists at the same time. Like, pick a list. One list. That’s the rule. 💀
