Hello all,

I need to set the IP address of an ethernet interface from a netfilter
receive hook function
(in a kernel module)....If I call devinet_ioctl() from the hook
function....The kernel hangs reporting "Bug at skbuff.c:174"
Looks like I cannot call the ioctl from netfilter hooks since they are
called in an ISR...
I tried moving the ioctl call to a tasklet , still I get the same
error...Is there any other solution ?

Thanks,
Subhash
