Hi netfilter list,
This is my first post to this list, so if this question is better
handled by a different list, or offtopic, please kindly inform me that
is the case. My C is a bit rusty also, so please forgive me if I'm
asking something that is not clear. In addition, this is my first
netfilter module :-)
In a netfilter module I am working on I alter the packet data such that
the length of the packet is reduced by an amount diff. I then set
skb->len via the following code:
skb->len -= diff;
This worked fine with gcc 2.96 but when cross-compiling this module for
OpenWrt with gcc 4.1.2 I get the following error:
error: assignment of read-only member 'len'
Is there a function I can use to set skb->len or do I need to poke
around the kernel code and modify this member to be read-write. I
accept the fact that what I'm doing is probably a hack, but I would like
to get this module working first, then make it well coded second.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Fred
