Subject: ndisc_get_neigh() in Kernel Module
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:44:46 +0100 [thread overview]

Hi all,
Apologies if this is the wrong list and could someone please point me in
the direction of a correct one if so.
I am writing a module (for kernel version 2.6.28) and I need to perform
an IPv6 neighbour lookup on an address as I have a packet before it has
got to the network code and had the MAC header prepended in the skbuff.
After looking about in the kernel code I came across ndisc_get_neigh()
which seemed to suit me perfectly but I can't use it because nd_tbl is
not exported by the kernel.
Are there any other ways for me to do the same thing that
ndisc_get_neigh() does? I guess this is unlikely without having access
to nd_tbl but if anyone could point me in the direction of another way
to perform this operation it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Matt
