I am interested in identifying the process (if any) responsible for creating a packet from within a netfilter module. Specifically, I would like to (from within the kernel) inspect the appropriate process's task structure and make a decision based on what I find. How might I do this? Another user asked a similar question some time ago: http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2005-December/064225.html However, I did not find a conclusive answer. One of the responders stated this of the suggested use of sk_buff->sock->socket->file->fown_struct->pid: "...and if using SMP you can't use it at all in netfilter context." I was unable to follow why this would be the case. Would someone be willing to elaborate on this too?
