💖 tipc_sk_backlog_rcv — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you're in the kernel API manual section (9) and the star of today's show is tipc_sk_backlog_rcv — the function that handles an incoming message straight off the backlog queue. yes, that's a real job and honestly it's giving main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_sk_backlog_rcv — handle incoming message from backlog queue

like literally, that's the whole vibe: a message shows up in the backlog queue, and this function deals with it. no cap 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int tipc_sk_backlog_rcv (struct sock *sk , struct sk_buff *skb );

that's the whole signature, character for character, don't come for me 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

one bullet per arg, as promised, no skipping the "boring" ones (there are only two, we slay):

• sk — socket
• skb — message

short and sweet, literally iconic 🍓

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the thing, and it's highkey important: the caller must hold the socket lock 🔒

that's it. that's the whole description. but do not sleep on it — this is not a "if you feel like it" situation, it's a "must". so like, hold the lock fr fr 🙈
