Hi David !
I have been I a similar situation when I wrote if_cs.c. I had
virtually no clue about SKBs and how to work with them. I've
looked at lwn.net, LDD, googled around, and looked at the
in-kernel documentation, which went into fine detail. But I
failed to grasp the real picture, e.g. up until now I don't have
any idea why there are so many different functions to modify
skb's in subtle ways.
So one can say that I still have virtually no clue about SKBs.
That if_cs.c works, might even be coincididence, thanks to
try-and-error. :-)
I've not seen if_sdio.c yet, but if Pierre looked at my if_cs.c
when surely he started from my incomplete view of things :-(
