Hi All,
I'm using Linux RedHat 9 kernel version 2.4.20-8
I want to do some asynchronous processing of packets in my kernel
module that is registered as
Netfilter Hook. I tried to make use of NF_QUEUE but found that only
one call back function per
protocol family (PF) is provided and already some module (probably
NET_LINK socket interface)
is making use of it for PF_INET. Is there any way to use NF_QUEUE
facility without disturbing
NET_LINK ? why per hook registration of call back function of
NF_QUEUE is not provided?
How to proceed if someone had to do async processing of packets so
that pkts can be queued to crypto hardware processing unit and can be
safely reinjected back into kernel later so that other registered
hooks can get pkts?
any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
-Lokesh.
