Hi!

First of all I'm a complete beginner in the kernel.

I have a few questions:
1. What are data_len and len in sk_buff, how are they used?

I realized that len is changing constantly as the packet
travels between the layers.

2. What is the difference between frag_list and frags[]?
   What is each?
struct skb_shared_info {
        atomic_t        dataref;
        unsigned int    nr_frags;
        unsigned short  tso_size;
        unsigned short  tso_segs;
        struct sk_buff  *frag_list;
        skb_frag_t      frags[MAX_SKB_FRAGS];
};

Thanks!
