Hi All,
Has anyone considered using threads in batman-adv?
is is possible to use fork() send.c file?
so that it can handle sk_buff traffic differently according to its
content (tcp, icmp)

Best regards,
Krishna.

did you mean kthread? I don't think this would bring any real benefit.
You should probably read/understand the rest of the networking stack in
the linux kernel to understand how incoming/outgoing packets are handled.

fork() is a function that is supposed to be used in *userspace* to
create a new *process*.
This is neither available nor conceptually possible in kernel space.
Maybe you should read a bit more about what you can do and what you
cannot do while developing a kernel module? :)
