Subject: Question: sk_buff and destructor
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2003 12:24:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200306051224.33510.ADharankar@ATTBI.Com> (raw)
Greetings!
One ethernet driver I am working with, allocates sk_buff using
dev_alloc_skb to send the received data to network layers above.
It also sets the sk_buff->dev field to its own net_device.
If the driver also sets the sk_buff->destructor to be one its
functions: can the sk_buff->dev be guaranteed to be the same
as when the destructor is called? I could not find any driver
making use of this struct member.
I am attempting to detect an sk_buff leak, almost likely in
the driver. Is there any other pointers/ideas I might be able to
use to debug this leak? I am using Linux 2.4.20.
Best regards,
-Arun.
