As we know ,netfilter supply seven priorities, NF_IP_PRI_FIRST = INT_MIN, NF_IP_PRI_CONNTRACK = -200, NF_IP_PRI_MANGLE = -150, NF_IP_PRI_NAT_DST = -100, NF_IP_PRI_FILTER = 0, NF_IP_PRI_NAT_SRC = 100, NF_IP_PRI_LAST = INT_MAX, 1.Can somebody can tell me how to use this priority? 2. In my test, i find that : (1)if define NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT hooks,priority >= -24 (2)if define NF_IP_POST_ROUTING hooks, priority >= -32 else my module can be compiled but not be insmod. In netfilter of Linux 2.5.72, i think the priority being able to be defined by yourself. I can not understand these. Please help me! yuan ################################################################# # # define # #define NF_IP_PRI_MY_FIRST -23 #define NF_IP_PRI_MY_LAST -32 static struct nf_hook_ops my_ip_ops[] = { { { NULL, NULL }, my_ip_output_first, PF_INET, NF_IP_LOCAL_OUT, NF_IP_PRI_MY_FIRST }, { { NULL, NULL }, my_ip_postroute_last, PF_INET, NF_IP_POST_ROUTING, NF_IP_PRI_MY_LAST } }; ################################################################# # # register # #define NUMHOOKS (sizeof(my_ip_ops)/sizeof(my_ip_ops[0])) for (i=0;i<NUMHOOKS;i++) { int ret; printk(KERN_INFO "i=%d\n",i); if ((ret = nf_register_hook(&my_ip_ops[i])) >= 0) continue; while (i--) nf_unregister_hook(&my_ip_ops[i]); return ret; } ####################################################################### - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
