30 This header defines an API for interacting with mbufs. mbufs are the
31 primary method of storing packets in the networking stack.
33 mbufs are used to store various items in the networking stack. The
34 most common usage of an mbuf is to store a packet or data on a
35 socket waiting to be sent or received. The mbuf is a contiguous
36 structure with some header followed by some data. To store more data
37 than would fit in an mbuf, external data is used. Most mbufs with
38 external data use clusters to store the external data.
40 mbufs can be chained, contiguous data in a packet can be found by
41 following the m_next chain. Packets may be bundled together using
42 m_nextpacket. Many parts of the stack do not properly handle chains
43 of packets. When in doubt, don't chain packets.

278 There may be additional data on chained mbufs. The data you're

280 than one mbuf. In addition, data that is virtually contiguous
281 might not be represented by physically contiguous pages; see
282 further comments in mbuf_data_to_physical. Use mbuf_len to
283 determine the lenght of data available in this mbuf. If a data
284 structure you want to access stradles two mbufs in a chain,
285 either use mbuf_pullup to get the data contiguous in one mbuf
286 or copy the pieces of data from each mbuf in to a contiguous
287 buffer. Using mbuf_pullup has the advantage of not having to
288 copy the data. On the other hand, if you don't make sure there
289 is space in the mbuf, mbuf_pullup may fail and free the mbuf.
