Ya, I also noticed if it is skb_push() it may work, but where is
skb_push() called?? ... the following
is part of the fn. call trace for udp send :
in ip_build_xmit()
sock_alloc_send_skb() -- allocates the sk_buff
skb_reserve() -- advances the data pointer to by
sizeof(hard_hdr) amt.
skb_put() -- puts the ip_hdr
>> getfrag() --> udp_getfrag_nosum()(assuming chksum off) --
sets udp_hdr.
memcpy_fromiovecend() -- puts the data after that.
r->u.dst.output() -- > dev_queue_xmit() -- queues the pkt.
still the data ptr is after hh_hdr, ie. as follows :
+------------------------------------------------------+
| hh_hdr | ip_hdr | udp_hdr | payload |
+------------------------------------------------------+
^ ^ ^
| | |
sk->head sk->data sk->end
On a hadr_start_xmit(), ie say for rtl8129_start_xmit(), the
data sending takes place from skb->data and not from head. So is hh_hdr
not transmitted??
Another question is why in sock_alloc_send_skb() , 15 is added to
length field?
Sorry to disturb u like this :)
