From 0ebd0ac5ff01ebf412e1bd3c33620ef7ffc5d866 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2013 06:46:58 +0000 Subject: net: add function to allocate sk_buff head without data area Add a function to allocate a sk_buff head without any data. This will be used by memory mapped netlink to attach data from the mmaped area to the skb. Additionally change skb_release_all() to check whether the skb has a data area to allow the skb destructor to clear the data pointer in case only a head has been allocated.
