Hi all,
I am working on a kernel module that changes the sock
structure of a live "ESTABLISHED" tcp connection..
1.
But I observed that the changes in tcp hashing mechanism that
came by 4 years ago are still not seen in the source code
provided by SUSE-Linux 2.4.x The 'structures sock, tcp_opt and
tcp_tw_bucket' still dont have the sklist_next and sklist_prev
pointers in them. These are crucial for my work.
Even the code at lxr.linux.no is not up to date.. can someone
tell me a reliable source for kernel 2.4.10 code?
2.) I dont know much about kernel modules but is there a way
we can send parameters froms a user program such as a simple
client so that the module will do the rest. ( I am intetested in
a module that changes several fields in the sock struct
according to information in a status file that records the
latest packet sequence number, congestion window etc.. ) and
this whole thing should be triggered my client program.
Thank you
Pavan Achanta
