NAME
       __skb_dequeue, skb_dequeue - remove an sk_buff from the head of a list

SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/skbuff.h>

       struct sk_buff *__skb_dequeue(struct sk_buff_head *list);

       struct sk_buff *skb_dequeue(struct sk_buff_head *list);

DESCRIPTION
       The  skb_dequeue	 function removes the head element of an sk_buff_head.
       It decrements the list qlen pointer, and cleanly detaches the head from
       the  queue.   This  function  should be used instead of performing this
       task manually, as it provides a clean, standardized way of manipulating
       an sk_buff_head, and provides interrupt disabling (see NOTES below.)

RETURN VALUE
       Returns	a  pointer  to	the  head  element of list, or NULL if list is
       empty.

NOTES
       It is important to note the difference between not  only	 __skb_dequeue
       and  skb_dequeue,  but all the __skb_ functions and their skb_ counter‐
       parts.  Essentially, the __skb_ functions are  non-atomic,  and	should
       only  be	 used  with  interrupts	 disabled.  As a convenience, the skb_
       functions are provided, which perform interrupt disable / enable	 wrap‐
       per functionality in addition to performing their specific tasks.

AVAILABILITY
       Linux 1.0+
