/*
* Routines having to do with the 'struct sk_buff' memory handlers.
*
* Authors: Alan Cox
* Florian La Roche
*
* Version: $Id: skbuff.c,v 1.90 2001/11/07 05:56:19 davem Exp $
*
* Fixes:
* Alan Cox : Fixed the worst of the load
* balancer bugs.
* Dave Platt : Interrupt stacking fix.
* Richard Kooijman : Timestamp fixes.
* Alan Cox : Changed buffer format.
* Alan Cox : destructor hook for AF_UNIX etc.
* Linus Torvalds : Better skb_clone.
* Alan Cox : Added skb_copy.
* Alan Cox : Added all the changed routines Linus
* only put in the headers
* Ray VanTassle : Fixed --skb->lock in free
* Alan Cox : skb_copy copy arp field
* Andi Kleen : slabified it.
* Robert Olsson : Removed skb_head_pool
*
* NOTE:
* The __skb_ routines should be called with interrupts
* disabled, or you better be *real* sure that the operation is atomic
* with respect to whatever list is being frobbed (e.g. via lock_sock()
* or via disabling bottom half handlers, etc).
