Hi!

I am programming a layer 3/4 protocol (source is available at
michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com). It does something like this.

static int rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev,
                struct packet_type *pt, struct net_device *orig_dev)
{
        char *packet_type_p;
        
        printk(KERN_ERR "rcv 2 %d", (int) skb);
        
        packet_type_p = skb_pull(skb, 1);
        
        printk(KERN_ERR "header %d", (int) packet_type_p);
        printk(KERN_ERR "data %d", (int) skb->data);
        printk(KERN_ERR "len %d", (int) skb->len);
        printk(KERN_ERR "nhdr %d", (int) skb_network_header(skb));
}

static struct packet_type ptype_cor = {
        .type = htons(ETH_P_COR),
        .dev = 0,
        .func = rcv
};

int __init cor_rcv_init(void)
{
        BUG_ON(sizeof(struct skb_procstate) > 48);
        dev_add_pack(&ptype_cor);
        return 0;
}

I know, converting void* to int only works on 32 bit systems. I did this the
ugly way, because it is only for debugging and will be removed anyway.

The output is like this:
rcv 2 164120488
header 161199319
data 161199319
len 68
nhdr 161199318

The interesting part is that skb_network_header is correct and both skb_pull
and skb->data points one byte after the start of the packet. I thought
that skb->data should always point to the start of the packet and that
skb_pull should point to the network header after rcv is called!? ipv4 uses
skb_network_header and runs fine...

The device which sent the packet was the user mode linux switch daemon (see
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html).
