41 * Known problems with 2.0[.x] kernels:
43 * - The loopback device gives every packet twice; on 2.2[.x] kernels,
44 * if we use PF_PACKET, we can filter out the transmitted version
45 * of the packet by using data in the "sockaddr_ll" returned by
46 * "recvfrom()", but, on 2.0[.x] kernels, we have to use
47 * PF_INET/SOCK_PACKET, which means "recvfrom()" supplies a
48 * "sockaddr_pkt" which doesn't give us enough information to let
51 * - We have to set the interface's IFF_PROMISC flag ourselves, if
52 * we're to run in promiscuous mode, which means we have to turn
53 * it off ourselves when we're done; the kernel doesn't keep track
54 * of how many sockets are listening promiscuously, which means
55 * it won't get turned off automatically when no sockets are
56 * listening promiscuously. We catch "pcap_close()" and, for
57 * interfaces we put into promiscuous mode, take them out of
58 * promiscuous mode - which isn't necessarily the right thing to
59 * do, if another socket also requested promiscuous mode between
60 * the time when we opened the socket and the time when we close
63 * - MSG_TRUNC isn't supported, so you can't specify that "recvfrom()"
64 * return the amount of data that you could have read, rather than
65 * the amount that was returned, so we can't just allocate a buffer
66 * whose size is the snapshot length and pass the snapshot length
67 * as the byte count, and also pass MSG_TRUNC, so that the return
68 * value tells us how long the packet was on the wire.
70 * This means that, if we want to get the actual size of the packet,
71 * so we can return it in the "len" field of the packet header,
72 * we have to read the entire packet, not just the part that fits
73 * within the snapshot length, and thus waste CPU time copying data
74 * from the kernel that our caller won't see.
76 * We have to get the actual size, and supply it in "len", because
77 * otherwise, the IP dissector in tcpdump, for example, will complain
78 * about "truncated-ip", as the packet will appear to have been
79 * shorter, on the wire, than the IP header said it should have been.

129 * If PF_PACKET is defined, we can use {SOCK_RAW,SOCK_DGRAM}/PF_PACKET
130 * sockets rather than SOCK_PACKET sockets.
132 * To use them, we include <linux/if_packet.h> rather than
133 * <netpacket/packet.h>; we do so because
135 * some Linux distributions (e.g., Slackware 4.0) have 2.2 or
136 * later kernels and libc5, and don't provide a <netpacket/packet.h>
139 * not all versions of glibc2 have a <netpacket/packet.h> file
140 * that defines stuff needed for some of the 2.4-or-later-kernel
141 * features, so if the system has a 2.4 or later kernel, we
142 * still can't use those features.
144 * We're already including a number of other <linux/XXX.h> headers, and
145 * this code is Linux-specific (no other OS has PF_PACKET sockets as
146 * a raw packet capture mechanism), so it's not as if you gain any
147 * useful portability by using <netpacket/packet.h>
149 * XXX - should we just include <linux/if_packet.h> even if PF_PACKET
150 * isn't defined? It only defines one data structure in 2.0.x, so
151 * it shouldn't cause any problems.
154 # include <linux/if_packet.h>
157 * On at least some Linux distributions (for example, Red Hat 5.2),
158 * there's no <netpacket/packet.h> file, but PF_PACKET is defined if
159 * you include <sys/socket.h>, but <linux/if_packet.h> doesn't define
160 * any of the PF_PACKET stuff such as "struct sockaddr_ll" or any of
161 * the PACKET_xxx stuff.

752 * The packet comes from a random interface and the packet_rcv

755 * If a filter is attached to that socket that filter is run
756 * first - and there lies the problem. The default filter always
757 * cuts the packet at the snaplen:
762 * So the packet filter cuts down the packet. The recvfrom call
763 * says "hey, it's only 68 bytes, it fits into the buffer" with
764 * the result that we don't get the real packet length. This
765 * is valid at least until kernel 2.2.17pre6.
767 * We currently handle this by making a copy of the filter
768 * program, fixing all "ret" instructions with non-zero
769 * operands to have an operand of 65535 so that the filter
770 * doesn't truncate the packet, and supplying that modified

831 * We keep the count in "md.packets_read", and use that for

835 * as running counts, as reading the statistics from the
