Subject: cc: Re: skb configured but can't get data allocated
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 18:41:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200709122341418320c60701@mail.smumn.edu> (raw)

To All, Thanks for the help.  I ended up adding my data packet after the ip headers and then updated the IP length:

 /* Allocate space for our exp_packet data payload and set the data */
        d_out = (struct exp_packet *)skb_put(skb,sizeof(struct exp_packet));
        d_out->headbits = (reply<<4) & 0xF0;
        d_out->sequence = pkthr.m_seq;
        d_out->payload = htons(pkthr.p_hash);

        /* adjust the total length of this IP packet */
        iplen = skb->tail - (unsigned char *)skb->nh.iph;
        iph->tot_len = htons(iplen);
        ip_send_check(iph);

This is my first venture into the kernel!
