Hi,
Referring to Alan Cox's article on "Network buffers and memory mangement",
he seems to be the only person who has ever mentioned something about
skb_queue_head_init() in some lines. (found out by lots of googling).
It seems previously there was a member in the 'device' struct called
'buffs' which essentially acted as queues for packets with different
kernel priorities.
What is the current equivalent feature now (2.2 & 2.4)? More specifically,
do i need to initialize a sk_buff_head for every "software-only" device
that I create? And which routines directly act on these queues?
TIA
Regards,
Amit
