# \_\_skb\_queue\_head\_init(9)

initialize non-spinlock portions of sk\_buff\_head

## NAME

\_\_skb\_queue\_head\_init - initialize non-spinlock portions of sk\_buff\_head

## SYNOPSIS

**void \_\_skb\_queue\_head\_init(struct sk\_buff\_head \*** *list***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*list*

queue to initialize

## DESCRIPTION

This initializes only the list and queue length aspects of an sk\_buff\_head object. This allows to initialize the list aspects of an sk\_buff\_head without reinitializing things like the spinlock. It can also be used for on-stack sk\_buff\_head objects where the spinlock is known to not be used.
