1、alloc_skb()函数
该函数的作用是在上层协议要发送数据包的时候或网络设备准备接收数据包的时候会调用alloc_skb()函数分配sk_buff结构体，需要释放时调用kfree_skb()函数。
static inline struct sk_buff *alloc_skb(unsigned int size, gfp_t priority) { return __alloc_skb(size, priority, 0, NUMA_NO_NODE); }这里使用内联函数，非内联函数调用会进堆栈的切换，造成额外的开销，而内联函数可以解决这一点，可以提高执行效率，只是增加了程序的空间开销。
函数调用需要时间和空间开销，调用函数实际上将程序执行流程转移到被调函数中，被调函数的代码执行完后，再返回到调用的地方。这种调用操作要求调用前保护好现场并记忆执行的地址，返回后恢复现场，并按原来保存的地址继续执行。对于较长的函数这种开销可以忽略不计，但对于一些函数体代码很短，又被频繁调用的函数，就不能忽视这种开销。引入内联函数正是为了解决这个问题，提高程序的运行效率。
