skbuff

[anupama.sonnenahalli@amd.com]

I had a quick question about skbuff.


In the skb, I understand that skb->len = skb->data - skb->tail.

What is data_len field? Is this skb->data_len = skb-end - skb->data ?

But, looking from the code, it looks like skb->len is always greater than skb->data_len!

Your answer will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Anu
