Hi All, I need to send udp packets in a kernel module. but i am unable to figure out how to specify fill the struct msghdr to be used by the sendmsg handler of the socket. my skeleton is something like (by going through the kernel code:>) struct socket *sock; struct sockaddr_in sin; struct msghdr msg; sock_creat(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP, &sock); sin.sin_family = AF_INET; sin.sin_port = htons((unsigned short)serv_port); sin.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); /*i am not sure about this*/ msg.msg_name = &sin; msg.msglen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); msg.msg_iov = iovec_containg the message; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; msg.msg_control = NULL; msg.msg_controllen=0; msg.msg_flags =0; sock->ops->sendmsg(sock,&msg,count,0); ________________________________________________ i am getting EFAULT. or can anybody suggest me how to fill the address field of sin_addr in kernel of any known remote address(corresponding inet_addr) so that sendto/send can be used. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
