Can someone explain what are the fields 'dev' and 'input_dev' in the
skbuff structure.
The comment above the declaration of the struct states:
" * @dev: Device we arrived on/are leaving by
* @input_dev: Device we arrived on
* @real_dev: The real device we are using
"
However, on one machine I saw that input_dev is always NULL (for incoming
packets), while on another it is not.
Are there configurations where skbuff->input_dev is not initialized?
Are there configurations where skbuff->dev is not initialized??
Actually, I want to find out the device (its index )on which an incoming
packet arrived. Is there a better way to do it? (One that works allways?)
Hayim.
