Subject: Re: tunnel creation: using fb_tnl_dev inside struct ip6_tnl_net
Hi,
I need to port some code from linux kernel 2.6.18 to kernel 2.6.29.
One of the file where changes are involved is <net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c>,
where a new structure struct ip6_tnl_net was added into kernel2.6.29
that didn't exist in 2.6.18 as follows:
struct ip6_tnl_net {
/* the IPv6 tunnel fallback device */
struct net_device *fb_tnl_dev;
/* lists for storing tunnels in use */
struct ip6_tnl *tnls_r_l[HASH_SIZE];
struct ip6_tnl *tnls_wc[1];
struct ip6_tnl **tnls[2];
};
All those fields in struct ip6_tnl_net were in global namespace in
2.6.18, but wrapped in this struct for some reason (what benefit does
this gain?)
2.6.18 code in function ip6_tunnel_init() works fine as follows. After
being ported to kernel 2.6.29 as shown below, after kernel/module
build, install, reboot hangs. I inserted some printk message as shown,
only 111111 to 44444 were displayed, which indicates that
"register_netdev(ip6n->fb_tnl_dev)" failed.
Any inputs? Thanks.
