okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual β this one's a whole function page and it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨

β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
devβ pointer to the network device, that's the whole vibe, it's just a pointer tostruct net_deviceand that's the entire argument list π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so picture this πΈ β this function allocates memory for a socket buffer, fills it with the data that got received, and then hands it over to the TCP/IP stack. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap, it's giving "middle manager of the network stack" energy and honestly? it ate π
