Subject: IPv6 over Firewire
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 18:03:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50D49659.1000101@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi!
I'm currently implementing IPv6 over firewire.
To make the address mapping to the firewire link layer RFC3146 mandates
to use neighbor discovery with a certain format of the source/target
link-layer address option.
While it is not too complicated to build that up, I'm wondering how I
can reserve enough memory in the corresponding skb.
One possibility is to introduce some option padding in
ndisc_addr_option_pad() but I think that's somehow weird.
The second option I see is to set needed_tailroom in struct netdevice
for firewire net devices. That's the way I would go for.
Because I'm not really familiar with the whole network infrastructure in
Linux, a confirmation for the way to go would be nice.
Regards,
Stephan
