Yes, I call it twice. The problem is that if I call it twice with the same
socket_fd, the second time I call it I get the EBUSY error from kernel. I
have to use two different sockets (two different socket_fd's, therefore) in
order to workaround this issue.

The code I use for calling "init_ring" is the one below. If in function
"init_rings", instead of using two different sockets (rx_socket_fd and
tx_socket_fd), I use a single socket, I get the EBUSY error from kernel.

Hope this clarifies, Cardo.

/* init_rings */
int init_rings(ll_socket_t *ll_socket)
{
  	
  // 1) initialize rx ring
  if ( ( ll_socket->rx_ring_buffer
	  = init_ring(ll_socket->rx_socket_fd, PACKET_RX_RING) ) == NULL )
  {
    handle_app_error("Could not set initialize RX ring.");
  }
	
  // 2) initialize tx ring
  if ( ( ll_socket->tx_ring_buffer
	= init_ring(ll_socket->tx_socket_fd, PACKET_TX_RING) ) == NULL )
  {
    handle_app_error("Could not set initialize TX ring.");
  }
	
  // 3) set destination address for both kernel rings
  if ( set_sockaddr_ll(ll_socket) < 0 )
  {
    handle_app_error("Could not set sockaddr_ll for TX/RX rings.");
  }
  	
  return(EX_OK);

}

/* init_ring */
void *init_ring(const int socket_fd, const int type)
{
  	
  void *ring = NULL;

  int ring_access_flags = PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE;
  tpacket_req_t *p = init_tpacket_req(FRAMES_PER_RING);
  int ring_len = ( p->tp_block_size ) * ( p->tp_block_nr );
  	
  if ( setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_PACKET, type, p, LEN__TPACKET_REQ) < 0 )
  {
     handle_sys_error("Setting socket options for this ring");
  }

  // 3) open ring
  if ( ( ring = mmap(NULL, ring_len, ring_access_flags, MAP_SHARED,
  			socket_fd, 0) ) == NULL )
  {
    log_sys_error("mmap()ing error");
  }
	
  return(ring);
	
}

/* init_tpacket_req */
tpacket_req_t *init_tpacket_req(const int frames_per_ring)
{
	tpacket_req_t *t = new_tpacket_req();
  	t->tp_block_size = frames_per_ring * getpagesize();
  	t->tp_block_nr = 1;
  	t->tp_frame_size = getpagesize();
  	t->tp_frame_nr = frames_per_ring;
  	return(t); 	
}
