sk_buff *skb , struct tipc_bearer *b );

literally just look at her signature. iconic. no notes. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• net — struct net. yeah. that's the whole description bestie, the docs said what they said 💀
• aead — the TIPC AEAD doing the decryption for this message. she's the main character here 👑
• skb — the input/output skb. it goes in, it comes out, it's giving duality 🌈
• b — the TIPC bearer where the message got received. like, where it showed up. her origin story 🦋

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — the decryption has completed. slay, we're done, periodt ✨
• -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY — a callback will be performed. so like, don't hold your breath, it's coming back later 🙈
• < 0 — the decryption has failed. it's giving flop 😭 not the vibe, check your stuff
