.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBskb_insert\fP and \fBskb_append\fP are essentially wrapper functions for
\fB__skb_insert\fP (see \fBNOTES\fP, below.) \fB__skb_insert\fP inserts
\fInewsk\fP into \fIlist\fP, and resets the appropriate next and prev
pointers. \fIprev\fP and \fInext\fP are used to frame \fInewsk\fP in
\fIlist\fP. After setting the next and prev pointers in \fInewsk\fP,
\fB__skb_insert\fP sets the prev pointer in \fInext\fP and the next pointer
in \fIprev\fP, sets the list pointer in \fInewsk\fP, and increments the qlen
counter in \fIlist\fP.
\fBskb_insert\fP and \fBskb_append\fP should be used to add sk_buffs
to a list rather than performing this task manually; in addition to
performing this task in a standardized way, these functions also provide
for interrupt diasabling and prevent list mangling. Both of these
functions use the list pointer in \fIold\fP to determine to which list
\fInewsk\fP should be attached.
The \fBskb_insert\fP function adds \fInewsk\fP to the list before \fIold\fP.
The \fBskb_append\fP function adds \fInewsk\fP to the list after \fIold\fP.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
None.
.SH NOTES
It is important to note the difference between not only \fBskb_insert\fP,
\fBskb_append\fP and \fB__skb_insert\fP, but all the \fB__skb_\fP functions
and their \fBskb_\fP counterparts. Essentially, the \fB__skb_\fP functions
are non-atomic, and should only be used with interrupts disabled. As a
convenience, the \fBskb_\fP functions are provided, which perform interrupt
disable / enable wrapper functionality in addition to performing their specific
tasks.
