💖 kunit_zalloc_skb(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for kunit_zalloc_skb(9) — this is the one that hands you a resource-managed skb, and it's lowkey giving test-helper main character energy 🧚✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kunit_zalloc_skb — Allocate and initialize a resource managed skb.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct sk_buff * kunit_zalloc_skb (struct kunit *test , int len , gfp_t
       gfp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• test — The test case to which the skb belongs
• len — size to allocate
• gfp — allocation flags

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so boom: allocate a new struct sk_buff with gfp flags, zero fill the given length, and add it as a resource to the kunit test for automatic cleanup. That's the whole vibe, no cap 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

newly allocated SKB, or NULL on error. So if you get NULL, that's the error case, bestie 😭
