Hi All,
This is my first post to the kernelnewbies mailing list.
I am writing a new network protocol in the form of a module. I finished
writing it in kernel 2.6.9 on Fedora Core 3 distribution. It is working
great.
However my implementation is not working on newer kernels like 2.6.12
etc. On doing some research i found the reason why it broke.
In my implementation i need access to the tcp_protocol handler which i used to get using the following lines of code:
extern struct net_protocol tcp_protocol;
tcp_protocol.handler(skb);
However after kernel 2.6.9, the export of the variables like
tcp_protocol or udp_protocol has been removed and hence i cannot access
the handler using them. Does any body know of a way to get access to
the tcp_protocol handler.
Let me know if anything is not clear as mentioned above.
Thanks in advance,
Saurabh
