💅 tipc_sk_filter_rcv(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for tipc_sk_filter_rcv(9), and it is literally about validating an incoming message. Pull up a chair, bestie 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tipc_sk_filter_rcv — validate incoming message

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void tipc_sk_filter_rcv (struct sock *sk , struct sk_buff *skb , struct sk_buff_head *xmitq );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sk — socket. That's the socket bestie 💖
• skb — pointer to message. Like, the actual message pointer, no cap.
• xmitq — output message area (FIXME). Yes, the original literally says FIXME here — I'm not hiding it, I'm just reporting the vibe 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It enqueues the message on the receive queue if it's acceptable; optionally it handles a disconnect indication for a connected socket. That's the whole little main-character moment ✨

Called with socket lock already taken 🔒

So do not come in here trying to grab the socket lock again, bestie — the caller already has it. Periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

This is the whole friend group, and yes, every single one is invited to the function-call party 🎉
