In /net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c every call of nfqnl_build_packet_message() make series of call nla_total_size() for 'size' calculations. I think 'size' is constant value for kernel build and may be define static variable for this ? Thank you. static struct sk_buff * nfqnl_build_packet_message(struct nfqnl_instance *queue, struct nf_queue_entry *entry) { sk_buff_data_t old_tail; size_t size; size_t data_len = 0; struct sk_buff *skb; struct nfqnl_msg_packet_hdr pmsg; struct nlmsghdr *nlh; struct nfgenmsg *nfmsg; struct sk_buff *entskb = entry->skb; struct net_device *indev; struct net_device *outdev; size = NLMSG_SPACE(sizeof(struct nfgenmsg)) + nla_total_size(sizeof(struct nfqnl_msg_packet_hdr)) + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t)) /* ifindex */ + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t)) /* ifindex */ #ifdef CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t)) /* ifindex */ + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t)) /* ifindex */ #endif + nla_total_size(sizeof(u_int32_t)) /* mark */ + nla_total_size(sizeof(struct nfqnl_msg_packet_hw)) + nla_total_size(sizeof(struct nfqnl_msg_packet_timestamp)); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
