Quick question about the network stack in general:

There's the concept of passing
So, in my case, I allocate a bunch of skb's that I want to be able to reuse
during network operation (256 in fact). When I pass it up the stack, the stack
will free that skb back to the system making any further use of it invalid
until I call alloc_skb() again?
Thanks.
