skb_queue_head_init - prepare an sk_buff_head for use

SYNOPSIS

       #include <linux/skbuff.h>

       void  skb_queue_head_init(struct sk_buff_head *list);

DESCRIPTION

       The  skb_queue_head_init function prepares an sk_buff_head
       for use by the other skb_ functions, and should be  called
       after declaring and allocating memory for any sk_buff_head
       elements.  Specifically, skb_queue_head_init sets the prev
       and  next  pointers  of the list to point back at the list
       itself, and sets  the  list  length  to  0.   The  use  of
       sk_buff_head elements which have not been initialized with
       this function is undocumented and  may  produce  irregular
       results.

RETURN VALUE

       None.
