Hello, For my experiments I would like to create ( alloc_skb ) and ip route a packet on a timer event in a kernel module I'm developing. 1) It doesn't have an incoming device therefore I can't use netif_rx 2) It doesn't have a cached route or a socket ( in fact it may even have a source ip for a different host ) Is there anyway I can pass it onto the ip_forward or something similar ( i.e. onto the tcp/ip network stack )? At the moment I'm trying to get a route using the following code: rt = ip_route_output( &init_net, iph->daddr,/*iph->saddr*/ 0, 0, 0) ) ; This crashes the kernel ( computer freezes up instantly ). I know iph->daddr is correct using printk, So I'm guessing ( after studying the source ) that init_net is incorrect. I must be honest I don't really understand this network namespace and not even sure if this is the right way to go to solve my problem. thanks in advance Iain -- 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
