For it is layered in ip_packet recieve procedure,
so if u modify the device-driver-layer's sk_buff ,it will certaily work.
But u will be carefull enough....
For the device-layer is quite simple,just rcv and send, and make sure the
data is not conrupted,or fit the checksum.
That's to say.
if u have decided to do sth in the device0driver-layer,u should do more things.
such as:
1) re-alloc the sk_buff(if the origin mem is not big enough after u inserted extra data)
------------u can use skbClone or skbCopy if I am not quite old as I remembered
2) according to the packet's type re-calculate the checksum.
maybe it will be quite cumbersome. such as IP-check sum,
TCP-check sum.
3)what's more,in TCP header it contain the offset of the data named as Seq and Ack.
u should chg them add/del the offset(the cumulative strLength what u have inserted)
above is what I can figure it out now,
wish u find a wayout ASAP.
