Synopsis
struct sk_buff * skb_copy_expand (const struct sk_buff * skb, int newheadroom, int newtailroom, int gfp_mask);
Arguments
- skb
buffer to copy
- newheadroom
new free bytes at head
- newtailroom
new free bytes at tail
- gfp_mask
allocation priority
Description
Make a copy of both an &sk_buff and its data and while doing so
allocate additional space.
This is used when the caller wishes to modify the data and needs a
private copy of the data to alter as well as more space for new fields.
Returns NULL on failure or the pointer to the buffer
on success. The returned buffer has a reference count of 1.
You must pass GFP_ATOMIC as the allocation priority if this function
is called from an interrupt.
