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

104 * To use them, we include <linux/if_packet.h> rather than
105 * <netpacket/packet.h>; we do so because
107 * some Linux distributions (e.g., Slackware 4.0) have 2.2 or
108 * later kernels and libc5, and don't provide a <netpacket/packet.h>
111 * not all versions of glibc2 have a <netpacket/packet.h> file
112 * that defines stuff needed for some of the 2.4-or-later-kernel
113 * features, so if the system has a 2.4 or later kernel, we
114 * still can't use those features.
116 * We're already including a number of other <linux/XXX.h> headers, and
117 * this code is Linux-specific (no other OS has PF_PACKET sockets as

121 * XXX - should we just include <linux/if_packet.h> even if PF_PACKET

330 * return the number of bytes read, so if we pass
331 * a length based on the snapshot length, it'll
332 * return the number of bytes from the packet
333 * copied to userland, not the actual length
336 * This means that, for example, the IP dissector
337 * in tcpdump will get handed a packet length less
338 * than the length in the IP header, and will

358 * length we won't artificially truncate packets
