Name

wimax_msg_alloc — Create a new skb for sending a message to userspace

`struct sk_buff * wimax_msg_alloc (`	struct wimax_dev * `wimax_dev`,
	const char * `pipe_name`,
	const void * `msg`,
	size_t `size`,
	gfp_t `gfp_flags)`;

0 if ok, negative errno code on error

Allocates an skb that will contain the message to send to user space over the messaging pipe and initializes it, copying the payload.

Once this call is done, you can deliver it with wimax_msg_send.

Don't use skb_push/skb_pull/skb_reserve on the skb, as wimax_msg_send depends on skb->data being placed at the beginning of the user message.
