💅 skb_queue_splice_init — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API corner of the group chat 🫶 this one lives in the kernel source file ./include/linux/skbuff.h and it's a list-splicing girlie, so let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

skb_queue_splice_init — bestie, this joins two skb lists together and then reinitialises the list that got emptied out 💅 literally a two-for-one, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void skb_queue_splice_init (struct sk_buff_head *list ,
                            struct sk_buff_head *head );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • list — the new list you're adding in 🦋 (yes, this is the one that ends up empty and gets reinitialised, iykyk)
  • head — the place to add it in the first list 👑 like, this is the spot it gets slotted into

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the tea ☕ — the list at list is reinitialised. that's the whole vibe check. the list gets emptied out and reset, and the stuff that was in it goes over to head. periodt ✨
