Subject: sk_buff allocation
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 12:42:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B25F227.5A5EEBB4@crm.mot.com> (raw)


I'm writing a module that is able to modify outgoing packets.
This is done by registering a new entry in ptype_all.
But my problem is that in dev_queue_xmit_nit the sk_buff is
cloned and that my function get this clone. So my modification
on skb->data isn't take into account by the ethernet driver.

My idea was to do my modifications and then copy all my datas
starting at skb->data so that nothing in the sk_buff is modified.

But what am I doing if the buffer doesn't have enough room to
support the new/modified data ?
skb_cow or skb_copy_expand, for example, will return me a new
sk_buff with a new buffer but how could I tell the system that
it must "replace" the old sk_buff by this one ?

Thanks
