Subject: cc: Re: skb configured but can't get data allocated
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!
