wimax_msg_send — Send a pre-allocated message to user space
int fsfuncwimax_msg_send ( | struct wimax_dev * wimax_dev, |
struct sk_buff * skb); |
wimax_devWiMAX device descriptor
skb
struct sk_buff returned by wimax_msg_alloc. Note the
ownership of skb is transferred to this function.
Sends a free-form message that was preallocated with
wimax_msg_alloc and filled up.
Assumes that once you pass an skb to this function for sending, it owns it and will release it when done (on success).
Don't use skb_push/skb_pull/skb_reserve on the skb, as
wimax_msg_send depends on skb->data being placed at the
beginning of the user message.
Unlike other WiMAX stack calls, this call can be used way early,
even before wimax_dev_add is called, as long as the
wimax_dev->net_dev pointer is set to point to a proper
net_dev. This is so that drivers can use it early in case they need
to send stuff around or communicate with user space.
