Hi,
i'm trying to develop an embedded system with ColdFire architecture (similar
at m68k) and i have some problems.
The bridge module is loaded properly in the kernel. When an ARP packet is
sent to the port of the bridge there are 2 situations:
- If destination MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF the packet is forwarded.
- If destination MAC address is not a broadcast address the packet is
droped.
Then, if i send an ICMP packet whit static ARP entries on the two hosts the
packet are droped.
So, i look in the source tree to search the bug and i can see that in the
handle_bridge() function in net/core/dev.c at this point:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
if ((*pskb)->pkt_type == PACKET_LOOPBACK ||
(port = rcu_dereference((*pskb)->dev->br_port)) == NULL)
return 0;
---------------------------------------------------------------------
the condition if () succeded whit port == NULL (but it shouldn't) and the
packet are droped.
How can i do to resolv this problem in m68k compliant architecture?
Best regards,
oveRet
