Subject: Socket filter access to hatype
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 23:00:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100420220029.GN19334@cel.leo> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 879 bytes --]
When capturing packets on a PF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW socket bound to all
interfaces, there doesn't appear to be a way for the filter program to
actually find out the underlying hardware type the packet was captured
on, such as is reported by the sll_hatype field of the struct sockaddr_ll
when the packet is sent up to userland.
Unless I've managed to miss a trick somewhere, this would seem to put a
fairly fundamental blocker on actually being able to filter in such
packets. Granted there's the SKF_OFF_NET area to inspect at the e.g. IPv4
level, but this makes it impossible to do anything on e.g. the Ethernet
level.
See attached for a patch to add an SKF_AD_HATYPE field, up among the
other special access fields around SKF_AD_OFF.
