give me your gcc version , and the prg? code

i can tell u something but i dont know much abt it.
len : when u recv a pkt ,len field is set to size of complete input packet ,
as headers are removed and added len field will be changed accordingly.

data_len: is the num of bytes in fragment chain and in unmapped page buffers
and is normally zero

can we allocate an sk_buff in a user program using alloc_skb()
If yes,
i'm getting many errors in header files (skbuff.h & slab.h)
and also "GFP_KERNEL" undefined

can u please help me

#include<stdio.h>
#include<linux/slab.h>
#include<linux/skbuff.h>

int main( )
{
struct sk_buff *skb;
skb=(struct sk_buff *)alloc_skb(100,GFP_KERNEL);

if(skb)
printf("allocation success");

return 0;
}
gcc version : 3.3.2
I want to allocate an sk_buff and to mess with it
i forgot to mention : im having "GFP_KERNEL" undeclared first use in the function

hi,
u can use GFP_KERNEL only in Kernel Module. As its written in /usr/src/kernel-2.6.15/include/linux/slab.h which is kernel code and no user space implementaion for GFP_KERNEL

hi ,
As i already told you in your other question u cannot use GFP_KERNEL in user program.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
