💅 af_alg_pull_tsgl — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🌸

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> and you meet af_alg_pull_tsgl. Her whole personality? Releasing the specified buffers from TX SGL. That's it, that's the gig. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

af_alg_pull_tsgl — Release the specified buffers from TX SGL 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void af_alg_pull_tsgl (struct sock *sk , size_t used , struct scatterlist *dst );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sk — the socket of the connection to user space. That's your main character right there 👑
• used — Number of bytes to pull from TX SGL. Just tell her how many bytes, she'll handle it ✨
• dst — If non-NULL, the buffer is reassigned to the dst SGL instead of being released. And listen — the caller must release the buffers in dst. Not optional, bestie, that's on you 💀

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

If dst is non-null, reassign the pages to dst. The caller must release the pages. Like, we're being so serious about this one — those pages are your responsibility now 🫶
