non-linear skb's

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am writing a kernel-module, that involves sending/receiving n/w pkts
(over UDP and over Ethernet both). Should I be checking for non-linear
skbuff's and linearizing them before I process the packets? Is this to
be done for _both_ UDP and Ethernet receive paths?

I guess the question is: Is is it possible that the Ethernet driver
and/or IP layer give you non-linear skbuffs. if yes, then I better be
linearizing them before analyzing the pkt data. right?

Iam using Redhat 2.4.9-13 kernel.

thanks in advance,
-A.
