Socket Buffer Functions

struct sk_buff — socket buffer
skb_queue_empty — check if a queue is empty
skb_get — reference buffer
skb_cloned — is the buffer a clone
skb_header_cloned — is the header a clone
skb_header_release — release reference to header

skb_unshare — make a copy of a shared buffer
skb_peek —
skb_peek_tail —
skb_queue_len — get queue length
__skb_queue_after — queue a buffer at the list head
