Hi All,
I am new to Linux and NetFilter. I am trying to write a NetFilter Hook
Module that hooks to both POSTROUTING and PREROUTING filter.
All I am trying to do is, if an IP packet is for certain dest IP address, I
will add (POSTROUTING) and take-out (PREROUTING)certain number of
bytes in the packet before I pass on the packet. The POSTROUTING NetFilter
hook seems working fine. I can get all of the outgoing
IP packets, and I can call skb_copy_expand + skb_push for the new data.
From ethereal, I see correct outgoing packets onto the
network.
However, here is the problem, when I get a packet at the PREROUTING, and for
certain packets that are about the size of the MTU, when I
call skb_copy or skb_pull, my entire system freezes right the way! Upon
further investigation, when the trouble packet arrives, even reading
data from skb->data using memcpy will freeze the system. I have exhausted
all combination of things that I can try... Any help, idea, or
direction as what else I should try or where the problem may be will be
deeply appreciated.
