error in ip_hdrlen in netfilter module
 

hi all i'm a newbie and have joined LQ for some guidance.... i'm creating a network module and trying to capture a tcpip packet and read its header but i'm getting error can someone help me resolve this...


code:
unsigned int hook_func(unsigned int hooknum, struct sk_buff **skb, const struct net_device *in, const struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{

struct iphdr *iph = NULL;
struct tcphdr *tcph = NULL;

if ((skb != NULL) && ((*skb)->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST) && ((*skb)->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IP))){
iph = ip_hdr((*skb)); // access ip header.


if ((iph->protocol == IPPROTO_TCP) ){
tcph = (struct tcphdr *)(skb_network_header(*skb) + ip_hdrlen(*skb));

printk(KERN_ALERT "INFO: Source IP Address: %u.\n",iph->saddr);
printk(KERN_ALERT "INFO: Destination IP Address: %u.\n",iph->daddr);
printk(KERN_ALERT "INFO: Source Port: %u.\n",tcph->source);
printk(KERN_ALERT "INFO: Destination Port: %u.\n",tcph->dest);

}
}
return NF_ACCEPT; // Tells the system to accept the packet, and process the next one.

}


error:

how to read data from the skbuff structure
 

i have changed the module into several subtasks to reach the final goal... i have captured the packet but i'm not able to read the data... i captured using simply using this.....

unsigned int hook_func(unsigned int hooknum, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct net_device *in, const struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *))
{
printk(KERN_INFO "packet ACCEPTED is %s\n"); //log to var/log/messages
return NF_ACCEPT;

}



i tried to read the data from skbuff->data since the structure skbuff is which consists of the data head, tail etc.. can someone tell what is to be done...

i have used sk_buff->data to start reading from the top of the data and then using skb_put(skb_buff,8)
to access next character in the buffer..... but i'm not able to set a loop to mark the ending data character....i know sk_buff->tail marks the ending of the character data.... but loop doesnt wrk with this condition instead it hangs with error....

thanks in advance
